Hello,
im trying it like he has written how to do it, but when I try to set the download path to C:\Deployment\DDay.Update.Test the wizard complains that it needs a link on an internet location, and not a path on my local drive.

Can someone help me with that issue?

Thank you!

I do presume your talking of "One Click" deployment here?

Don't post this under Questions & Answers - if you got the code from an article, then there is a "new message" button at the bottom of that article, which causes an email to be sent to the author. They are then alerted that you wish to speak to them.
Posting this here relies on them "dropping by" and realising it is for them.

Hello Undercoverx,

if I remember correctly the location cannot be on a local drive. I has to either a web address or something on a share in the likens of:
\\somehost\someshare\....
So please try it with a share and see if that works.

Greetings

Manfred
