Unable to run XBAP

I was able to go to a xbap URL from one machine(XP with sp2) and it works fine, on other machine(XP with sp2) , I get the following exception

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Temporary Internet files\Content.IE5\R1HCV8RY\]xxx.exe.manifest'.

what could be wrong, any Ideas?

Thanks

have you checked to see if the file:

"C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Temporary Internet files\Content.IE5\R1HCV8RY\]xxx.exe.manifest"

exists on your new target client machine?

also,does the second client have .net 3.0 installed?

the file is not there. the client has 3.0 rtm. why does it get downloaded on one machine and not on the other?

The callstack suggests PresentationHost.exe is started in debug mode. This normally happens when you do F5 in Visual Studio. How are you trying to run the XBAP? If not from within VS, can you use Process Explorer (from sysinternals.com) to see the command line passed to PresentationHost.exe?

I was running from command line PresentationHost.exe -debug http://.....xbap

because when I typed in the url or clicked the link, it will just hang the browser instance and it doesnt do anything,

PH -debug is meant for debugging from within VS. Only a local file path is accepted.

But it seems there is a bigger problem with XBAP activation on this computer. When the browser "hangs", what exactly happens: its GUI is non-responsive, or the XBAP just doesn't load? Is there a PresentationHost instance started? Does it keep running or quits immediately?

I have to kill the IE instance.

I tried process explorer, the presentationhost.exe comes and goes every 10 or so secs

the command line looks like this "c:\documents and Settings\{username}\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\SH6BGHA3\xxx.xbap"

untill I restart the machine an IE instance will be opened and closed(flickr) every 10 or so secs

Thanks

We've seen this phenomenon in artificial conditions: IE fails to properly activate the XBAP and then falls back to shell activation. The registered shell handler for .xbap is PresentationHost. It just launches the default browser with the given file path ... hence an infinite loop.

The installation of WPF on this computer is probably partly broken. Was there a pre-RTM release installed? Can you try to re-install now?

there is no pre rtm version on this machine ever. only RTM version was loaded.

I run all the WPF apps just fine. it is just the issue with any XBAP

That's worriysome... If you'd like, you can collect ETW traces by following the instructions on this thread (at the end of p.1) and send them to me.
