ClickOnce Deployment (BUG?)   

Hello guys, There is an application (c# @ vs2005 SP1) that needs to be 
deployed in a very controlled way.

ClickOnce was selected to do this task.

This application works over a database and, some times, this database needs 
to be updated together with the code.

The problem is that not all the clients are in the same local network, so, 
secondary servers were deployed using windows services to transfer the 
information and to update and sign manifests, and then clients subscribe to 
the local secondary server for updates.

Not all the clients have this advantage, several need to connect directly to 
the primary server, so the updating process is slow and for this ClickOnce 
has a great feature of download updates on the background.

This is done creating Download Groups and it works well. The problem is 
that, when I download some files, I want to leave a small group at the 
server for update at the moment the administrator decide.

That works ok, but when the app is closed and opened again, the application 
asks the user if he/she wants to update the application because a new 
download is available.

I'm sure that I unchecked the "The application should check for updates" 
checkbox of the application updates dialog of the publish settings on the 
project properties.

Is there any way to stop the window's display?
I think it's a bug!

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.


FM.
