    dotNet No Touch Deployment

    So I have been using "No Touch Deployment" and really like it. There is
    however one problem it becomes a "No Deployment" if the web server is down
    or unavailable.



    After touting the coolness of this feature our GM took his laptop home and
    wasn't very happy that the app didn't work.. L



    Can you say "Testing, Testing, Testing.."



    Lets assume that the assembly resides locally on the client and when run
    checks to see if there is a newer copy on the server. If so downloads the
    newer version and runs. If not it runs the local copy. Then one could deduce
    if the server wasn't available it would just run the local copy of the
    assembly.



    Ho yeah. assumptions that's what got me into trouble before.



    Finally the question; is does anyone know of a way to make No Touch work
    offline?



    Thanx much for any help

      If you set Internet Explorer to Work Offline then .NET should used the
      cached assemblies and the app should run. This will only be effective if the
      data required by the app is on the local machine as well.

          Thanx for the tip Rob; but that was one of the first things I tried. The
          data does come from a different server and has a local XML cache in the
          event that server is down or is being accessed from outside the domain.
