[2008] Lost My database with Clickonce deployment

[batvink]

Hi,

I have created a small application and deployed it using ClickOnce deployment. It's changed a couple of times, but it's been redeployed each time using the same method. I copy the folder to the laptop, hit setup and everything else just "happens"

The problem is, I can't find the database file! It's an SQLite file (s3db extension). I've searched for *s3db*, *Smart* (the name of the database), and all I find is the original file in the setup directory.
Can anyone tell me where I will find this file?

Incidentally, I had to manually add the database and dll to the package. In the setup folder, it simply sits in the resources folder as Smart.s3db.deploy.

I dont use ClickOnce but perhaps it needs verifying that it installs it. Any logs to check? Aslo, what OS are you installing it to? Vista?

2008 may have a bug on this so if the other ideas dont help then checking out the MS site for issues with Beta 2 may help.

Thanks for the reply. I've just found it - the laptop I installed it to had System files/folders hidden in the search. It's actually deployed in the Documents and Settings folder for the user. The folder name is meaningless, you have to do a search to find it. It also removes the deploy file extension, which makes far more sense.
