.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / December 2004No-Touch Samrt-Client Deployment and IE cache
We have no-touch smart-client application deploying from our IIS Intranet Web server. The application executable and assemblies get downloaded into the user's IE cache on their PC automatically as part of the framework process. The problem is that in some offices, they automatically clean-out the IE cache every morning. Which means that the executable and assemblies get re-downloaded everyday. Is there a way to maintain the files in the IE cache area? in essence preventing un-neccessary re-downloading of the files everyday when nothing has changed. The files total about 5Mbs. Nothing is strongly named at this time. Thanks for any input. Mr. Maui, I'm sure your users are some really heavy browsers since it's relevant to clean the cache this often, but could it be, that the cleaning could be done a bit less frequently?

They have tentatively agreed to once a week, at the very least. This does provide some relief, but an alternative would be preferrable. > Mr. Maui, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > > > Thanks for any input. > We have no-touch smart-client application deploying from our IIS Intranet Web > server.

Since IE caching is the problem, and you do not have direct control over your users' IE habits, you might need to switch over to using a deployment technique such as the Updater Application Block (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html /updater.asp). This makes the process a little more complicated, but it gives you more control and flexibility. And once it has been implemented, you still get all the benefits of deploying to a central server. Thank You for your post. I did a search and found a related excellent article ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/smartclient/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnpag/htm l/scag-ch07.asp ) which outlines some alternatives for our deployment, given that there is no direct way to solve the cache issue. > > We have no-touch smart-client application deploying from our IIS Intranet > Web [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > gives you more control and flexibility.
