Error: Setup has detected that the file has changed since it was initially published.

_{Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:38 AM}

I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've got a ClickOnce install problem that I can't make head nor tail of - and Google doesn't seem to want to help. Essentially I have a WinForms app that have the framework and SQL Express as pre-requisites, but everytime I try to install the app it complains about a file having been changed since it was initially published. Everything is based off Beta 2, so framework 2.0 beta 2, SQL Express beta 2 and devstudio 2005 beta 2.

If anyone has any ideas then it's be much appreciated. The log file it produces is below...

The same URL is being used in the release version of the product as was used for Beta 2. As a result, apps deployed using Beta 2 are now seeing this error because it is downloading the RTM version of dotnetfx.exe.

There are two possible workaround, but either require a republishing.

1. You can republish your app with "Same Location", so that the Beta 2 DotNetFx is put on your website and downloaded. If someone has the RTM DotNetFx installed, then the bootstrapper shouldn't download or try to install the Beta 2 version.
2. You can download the RTM DotNetFx.exe and copy it to the Bootstrappe DotNetFx package directory. Then republish. This will cause the bootstrapper to build the local file hash into the bootstrapper, and as long as the certs also match up, which I think they should, you should be up and running again.

I am having a similar issue with the ClickOnce deployment except my install appears to bomb out on the .NET Framework 2.0 installation.  Any help would be appreciated.

On the other hand, the Windows Installer one is a similar problem, and slightly different. There was an updated installer put up that is causing this problem in some cases. The workaround/fixes are pretty much the same as I described in the other message, you just might need to get WindowsInstaller-xxxxxxxx.exe instead.

Hi David Guyer.

 I saw your reply regarding Error: Setup has detected that the file has changed since it was initially published.

I have almost same problem, my problem is when i try to install one application from website to my system, at the time of installation it will give me error message:

 setup has detected that the file    'C: DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.APO\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD106B.tmp\dotnetfx\dotnetfx.exe' has changed since it was initially published. Click OK to retry the download, or Cancel to exit setup.

the scenario for getting this error is first i have installed .net framework from microsoft's site, after that i have teried to install this downloaded application( that i want to install ) in my system, at  that time it gives me error message like above.

I have also downloaded the dotnetfx.exe from microsoft and installed the .net, but then also i couldn't resovle the problem.

So if u have any idea regarding this then please help me.

Thanks in advance

Darshak.

Huh?  What are you trying to say?

_{Wednesday, July 6, 2011 7:53 AM}

same error for me, but only in some machines (that have the same user rights of other pc where installation works well).

hard to know how to fix this.

_{Friday, November 9, 2012 3:54 PM}

We just had the same problem.  Our pre-requisites are using the ClickOnce option to downloaded from the component vendor's web site.

It only was happening on one computer, so we didn't want to change our publish to fix it.

We fixed this by cleaning up the temporary files on that machine.  You can run cleanmgr.exe to get an easy UI to cleanup temporary files and folders.
