Smart Client Deployment

Greetings.

I've created a little application that fires from a web link and does some functions. I cannot get the application to fire consistently on all machines in my office. I followed all the instructions for setting security and such on the machines, and I still cannot get the app to fire flawlessly on each machine.

On machines it will not fire, I'm getting an XML error as it tries to find the application's .config file. The webserver is set up properly because some machines are connecting and firing the exe with no trouble.

Where does app.exe.config file need to sit in order for all clients to get it?
TIA

Usually you can just place it in the same directory as the EXE and it works like a champ.

One problem may be if you're passing params to the HREF EXE. This will*space
space*the fetching of your config file. These problems been fixed in VS.NET 2003.

What do the IIS logs says about the .config request? What exactly gets requested? What's the HTTP status code? Do you even see a request from the afflicted machines when the fetch of the config file fails?
