I have successfully deployed a ClickOnce on our local intranet. 

When I deploy ClickOnce to our corporate web server outside of our network I
am getting an error that I have pasted at the bottom of this post.

If I install this on my computer at home from the corporate web server I do
not get an error.

The only other variable I can think of is we have a proxy server, but the
error message does not indicate that this is the problem.

Please help.

Hi Bruce,

In this regard, this problem may be caused by a known issue of Whidbey. It
is because that .Net deployment APIs do not use the default proxy and
credentials to access the remote ClickOnce files.

I suggest you set useDefaultCredentials to true as the followings in the
machine.config to workaround this issue:
<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">

This could get net classes to apply default domain credentials on the proxy
automatically.

Please refer to our corresponding MSDN bug link is for the detailed
information:

Thanks for the reply,

The work around will not work for us.  This click once application is
intended for our customers who have various network configurations, including
the use of proxy servers.  We could not ask our customers to modify thousands
of client systems machine.config files or remove their proxy servers.

This is a huge obstacle for wide acceptable of the click once technology.  I
hope Microsoft addresses this issue sooner than later.

Thanks again for the prompt response.
