Good Afternoon,

Hopefully someone can help, i am going nuts!

i have a small but important app in vb express that used to automatically
check for a new pulished version or update, but now it is not. I have
checked my settings, and all seems to be okay. All my paths are ok, and it
is set to check for an update before the app opens. Has anyone had this
problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps - i recently switched back to 2005 when vb express 2008 wasn't working
well, if that helps

Are you saying that your app is deployed with "ClickOnce"?

If so, what certificate is used when you did the publish? If you used a
testing certificate, generated with .NET SDK tool (you can do it within VS,
but I am not sure for VS Express), it has 1 year expiration. So, if the
certificate expires, your "ClickOnce" depolyment will stop working, although
the app that has already deployed will still work, it will not be able to
check update anymore. That is what my guess of your situation.

Thanks for our quick response, but clickonce seems to be okay too. my
certificate doesn't expire for some time. although when i look at the
properties, it has a red x on it. Does that mean anything?
