Click Once Deployment Multiple Users on Same PC C# WPF

Question

Hi,

I am attempting to deploy a C# WPF program using Click Once.

On every PC so far this has worked fine - the URL the install is located at is a shared UNC path.

However I have come accross a PC that is shared by 3 users each with their own login. In this case the program instals and runs fine for 'User 1' but when I then log in as 'User 2' to install it appears to instal - but then does nothing. I have configured it to place a shortcut on the desktop, but this is not there. There a shortcut placed in Start menu though (unless this was created by the install for 'User 1'?), but when using this nothing happens.

If I copy the flat .exe file to each user on this PC it runs perfectly.

Can someone give me some pointers of where to look to get click once working - what have I missed? Where should I be looking?

Thanks,

M :-)

Hi MrMicro-2106,
Clickonce is designed to install applications for a single user without administrative rights.
You will need to create an MSI installer to distribute the application to multiple users on the same computer.
And here is a similar thread you can refer to.
