Please Help Me out on this problem.
The problem is that the error message should have been ExampleAppName.exe.manifest could not be found
.
If you open the ExampleAppName.application
file that was downloaded you can see it probably points to a path like Application Files\ExampleAppName.exe.manifest
and that file does not exist locally.
It still works in IE because IE starts the installer WITHOUT downloading the file. Then the manifest file does in fact exist in a relative path to where the ExampleAppName.application
file is on the Internet.
The fix is to change the ExampleAppName.application
file and provide it an absolute path to where the AppName.exe.manifest
exists on the Internet.
