Using rundll32.exe to launch a click once deployment URL?

Question

I am using the following command from the command prompt in windows:

C:\Users\myusername>rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,LaunchApplication "http://ClickOnceDeplymentURL.application" NULL 0

but nothing happens? No errors or nothing. I expect it to launch the deployment update... Am I missing something here?

Answer 1

This answer mentiones that LaunchApplication is only available since .NET Framework 2 SP 2. Try the ShOpenVerbApplication function instead:

rundll32.exe dfshim.dll, ShOpenVerbApplication http://ClickOnceDeplymentURL.application
