I realize this is very similar to two other posts but the ClickOnce failure was not addresses in the two threads I found.
Visual Studio 2010 V 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
.NET Framework V 4.0.30319 SP1Rel
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 BuildVersion=13.0.2.469.Cortez_CR4VS (from ProductId.txt in the download folder)
Application was original developed using CR BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS
So since I upgraded this week, if a user clicks the Launch link on the deployment web page the application loads the appl;ication update and starts. Does not even check with Crystal Reports but everything seems to work.
The new version of the Crystal Reports runtime tries to install for users I have that enjoy clicking the run button. The install fails and points at a log file, the key part of which is
Installing using command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe' and parameters ' -I "C:\DOCUME1\clyle\LOCALS1\Temp\VSDC8.tmp\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_2.msi" -q '
Process exited with code 1603
Status of package 'SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0' after install is 'InstallFailed'
Uninstalling the previous version manually alleviates the failure as does manually running the msi on the target machine. But that kind of defeats the purpose of ClickOnce. Looking at product.xml that accompanies the runtime download I see it tests for the 13.0.2 version and bypasses the install if it finds it but it does not check for earlier versions.
Another thread I read indicated changing the switches in the install command would work but I am not clear on how to do that from ClickOnce, I cannot locate where the command is being given. Is there a way to get it to test for previous versions and delete them or force an overwrite using the ClickOnce?
