[BUG] Installer not working #28

Closed rbwhitaker closed 3 years ago

rbwhitaker commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug Cannot install Realm Factory.

Got an error that says, "Cannot Start Application. Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue."

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the website and download the program to run the installer.
  2. The error will appear.

Expected behavior You should be able to run the program.

This error was submitted to me by email. I was able to repro it after uninstalling my copy and reinstalling.

I suspect building from source and running the executable would still work, and a way forward might be to publish artifacts here that does not use Click Once. That would sacrifice being able to associate the .realm extension with the program, but I think that is about it.

In the short term, I think we're going to start releasing this without any installer. So this issue will be sidestepped. I'd like to get back to ClickOnce at some point, but that depends on how we're going to deploy this product in the future (current website does not cleanly support it) and if we switch to .NET Core or not.
