Ok so i though i knew how to make a application i made in vb2008 express that self updates. it works on my computer but any other person on a other computer dosent work it gets this error.
the first screen comes up wich is a normal screen with a computer connecting to the internet says this"LAUNCHING APPLICATION Verifying Application Requirements. This may take a few moments"
Then the error comes up saying"CANNOT START APPLICATION Application download did not succeed. Check your network connection, or contact your system administrator or network service provider."

ok so i go to my vb2008 open up my project and there is something new i didnt put in my project it called itself"IronPro.WarRock_Temporaykey.pfk"

i have no idea what that is.
so i click on it and get this window saying this"there is no editor available for 'C:\Documents and Settings\Rossalind Lex\Desktop\New Folder\my programs\IronPro.WarRock\IronPro.WarRock\IronPro.WarRock_Temporaykey.pfk
make sure the application for the file type (.pfk) is installed"

When i published the application i did the following steps:
1.specify location to publish this application, so i choose, "'C:\Documents and Settings\Rossalind Lex\Desktop\New Folder\my programs" then hit next

2. how are users gone to install the application i choose cd-rom or dvd-rom then hit next

3. were will the application check for updates so i choose "the application will check for updates from the following location:http://localhost/IronPro.WarRock/" I did not choose "http://localhost/IronPro.WarRock/" it was already there. then published.

things i think i know about whats happening there is no firewall problem that makes there to be no connection.

Thanks for your time your imput is welcomed my users are getting kinda depressed. BooHoo

If I, in my tired state, am thinking straight, then chances are your project is signed with a certificate when you don't want it to be. Check the project properties for a setting like "Sign the ClickOnce" manifest or something, and uncheck that check box.

I think that might do it, but who knows? Good luck.
