When I try to (re)publish my clickonce app, I am getting this:
Failed to copy file ‘E:*path*\default.htm’ to ‘\path\default.htm’. Unable to add ‘default.htm’ to the Web site. The file ‘default.htm’ already exists in this Web site.
There are three files with the same error message – default.htm, setup.exe and my app’s .application file.
What’s going on? I’ve published this before, many times – although it’s been a few months since the last publish.
You might wanna post this on UserVoice (cause its going to get into server details quickly) but it seems to me that the file already exists. 2 most obvious possibilities are:
1) The web server has set the file to read-only.
2) I think ClickOnce uses a different directory per deployment. Did you remember to bump the version number up?
