RE: Error when trying to install ClickOnce

Hi,

I posted my PowerShell script on my blog: https://marcellusnav.wordpress.com/2017/07/10/my-nav-clickonce-deployment-script/

I also shared it on GitHub: https://github.com/marcellusnav/Marshell/tree/master/Click%20Once

You need to get the New-NAVClickOnceDeploymentOnIIS.ps1 open the PowerShell ISE as admin and execute it with your own parameters like this:

. "C:\Deployment\New-NAVClickOnceDeployment.ps1" New-NAVClickOnceDeploymentOnIIS -NavVersion 90 ` -DeploymentFolder 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ClickOnceDemo' ` -DeploymentURL 'http://localhost/ClickOnceDemo' ` -LogFile 'C:\Deployment\log.txt' ` -Mage "C:\Deployment\mage.exe" ` -SigningPfxFile "C:\Deployment\ClickOnceSignature.pfx" ` -SigningPfxFilePassword 'clickoncesignaturepassword' ` -ClientUserSettingsFile "C:\Deployment\ClientUserSettings.config" ` -WebConfigFile "C:\Deployment\web.config" ` -PartnerName 'YourCompanyName' ` -CustomerName 'YourCustomerName' ` -ProductName 'NAV 2016 Production'

RE: Error when trying to install ClickOnce

Hi Marcell,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me. I made my folder structure according to the video from 4BzSoftware link below:
(community.dynamics.com/.../clickonce-mass-windows-client-installation-and-auto-update).

If you open the II-S manager you will see Setup- folder (See Pic below). Since I had some doubts that Port 1200 was not workign i deactivated the Firewall Completely on the server.

Now here is the Folder structures where the installation file are:

The full manifest paths look like this:

This is the current error which I get with this settings:

To be honest I tried different tips regarding solving this problem. but unfortunately till now i had no luck in solving it :(

RE: Error when trying to install ClickOnce

Hi M.Zayed,

Can you share a screenshot of your folder structure within the ClickOnceNAV90 folder?

Here is an example from a demo machine:

Looking at your error message, you are trying to access the deployment manifest via this URL: http://172.17.8.56:1200/Setup/ProductionDeployment.application

On one of your previous screenshots I've seen that the your deployment folder is ClickOnceNAV90, it looks like that your URL should be http://172.17.8.56:1200/ClickOnceNAV90/Setup/ProductionDeployment.application

Also, could you please check if you have enabled port 1200 on your server?

RE: Error when trying to install ClickOnce

Hi M.Zayed,

In your deployment manifest (Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.application) what is the value of the codebase attribute in the in dependentAssembly?

<dependentAssembly dependencyType="install" codebase="navserver.cloudapp.net/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe.manifest" size="45204">

Is it this? "file:///C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ClickOnceNAV90/ProductionDeployment.application"

RE: Error when trying to install ClickOnce

You will keep getting this Manifest error while configuring ClickOnce if any step you did wrong, so if you have given ample of time in sorting out this issue and still unable then normally what I do is I start from beginning and re execute all processes.

Something important that I captured while doing was -

1. Port no should be public.

2. Use IP instead of server names.

3. Manifest must contains all the files that you have made.
