SYMPTOMS
When you try to start a ClickOnce program in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, you receive the following message:

Do you want to install this application?

This message appears every time that you try to start the ClickOnce program.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the ClickOnce store initialization process acquires the wrong user profile location from the system. This action causes the store to reinitialize. Additionally, the registry loses track of all the existing ClickOnce programs. Therefore, the programs require reinstallation.
