Deploying PDF-XChange Viewer application using ClickOnce

[KarlR69]

I have created a VB.NET application that uses PDF-XChange Viewer that works well. I would like to distribute this application via MS's ClickOnce method.

I deployed the install to my server, and it looks like it automatically brought over the DLL files (see screenshot in attachment). I went to another computer and installed the application via the ClickOnce link.

When the application starts up, it crashes hard with a message from Windows saying "the below files could be used to diagnose the error". I have included these files in my attachment.

Is there something special I need to do to modify the manifest to accomplish this? I read some posts in this forum regarding this, but they were pretty old, and I wasn't sure if they were still valid.

I have not yet purchased my license key, and this is literally my last step to get working before I purchase my license. If we can get this working, I will be making my purchase immediately.

Thanks in advance,
Karl

I found a similar thread disussing this same issue here: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... =36&t=4055

I installed the "client distribution file" mentioned in the article and that worked. My ClickOnce-installed program ran & printed properly.

While I am happy that this worked, I would have preferred something where I just registered a DLL. I found another thread describing that, but I could not get it to work on a 64-bit machine. When I ran regsvr32, it gave me a warning that the DLL was not compatible with my test machine.

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions anyone might have.

Thank you!

Hi, Karl.

When I ran regsvr32, it gave me a warning that the DLL was not compatible with my test machine.

Strange, there should not be any problems.
Please specify: what is the warning message exactly? Maybe you tried to register the x64 ActiveX DLL on a x86 system?

Best
Regards.
