ClickOnce deployment MIME problem

  1. Hi

    I'm trying out the VS2005 ClickOnce publishing option on my sandbox beta site.

    I can publish the application files to the serverfine but when I try to install the app. from the site I just get XML coming up in the browser.

    According to the VS2005 Help system :


    "Application Launch and Update Problems
    <CONTENT xmlns="http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5"></CONTENT><SECTIONS xmlns="http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5">
    Problem: When navigating to an .application file, nothing happens or XML renders in IE or you get a Run/SaveAs dialog
    <CONTENT xmlns="http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5">
    Solution: Likely due to MIME type not being registered correctly on server or client.
    First check to make sure the server is configured to associate the .application extension with MIME type "application/x-ms-application" (see "Server Configuration" above for details). If the server is configured correctly then check to make sure that .NET Framework 2.0 Beta is installed on your computer. If it is installed, and you are still seeing this problem, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the Framework to re-register the MIME type on the client."
    This seems to fit my problem. However I have the .Net framework 2 beta installed on the clientso it looks as though it's a server configuration problem. Any idea how this may be resolved ?
    Thanks

  2. .application is already defined in the MIME type as application/x-ms-application.

    Is there a way that we can replicat the problem you are seeing, I noticed some other beta users has click once deployment setup without any issue.
