Hi David,

this is a general issue with ClickOnce in Vista, Win 2008, Win 7 (but only when these OSes are used on the client). We are planning an ActiveX-based fix for this in the medium term.

Hi Marcel,

yes, this update is scheduled for release within the next 4-5 weeks.

Hi Marcel,

yes, all commercial licensees are entitled to free life-time product updates and of course premier priority support. (This may change for future licensees later on, but customers who become commercial licensees before that change will keep getting that licensing benefit even after such a change, so you're safe.)

Best regards,

By the way: a work-around for this specific issue you can use already today (until we finalize a better solution for this issue) under Win 7 and 2008 R2 clients is to fully disable user elevation on the client. Of course, this may not always be feasible and we'll work hard to provide a better solution. However, depending on how much authority you have over your client system or those of your users it may be a temporarily acceptable solution.

The above work-around of course still fully presumes that the UploadZen Deployment Checklist has been followed and implemented diligently and thoroughly on the server side (IIS).

Hi Ray,

I regret it just as much but unfortunately this update has indeed fallen behind schedule — we are having progress on this issue however.

I'll notify everyone as soon as we're ready to roll this out.

New release is JUST around the corner... we had to de-priorize this tool because it is simply the one with the lowest demand, but we are still investing effort in it and the results of these efforts will soon become available here. 2-3 weeks from now is the newest ETA.

It's been a long ride but 2.4 is now out and introduces a completely new, fully working uploader mode called the Web Uploader. The previous Windows-based technology is still included and called the Windows Uploader mode. However, this has become almost impossible to deploy successfully to modern client OS and browser environments, as it has been built upon a client technology that Microsoft unfortunately unilaterally obsoleted.

The new mode requires either the Silverlight 4 or the Flash 10 plugin to be installed in the browser. This supports all major client OSes (Win, Mac, Linuxes) and the most varied range of browsers. Also supported are server-side ZIP extraction and automatic checkin-upon-upload.

Not everything we planned has made it into this release 2.4. Future feature additions include:

2.5:

- chunking (ability to upload files that are larger than your server-side file upload size limits set at the SharePoint or IIS level)
- client-side zipping for Silverlight plugin mode
- configurable client-side image resizing prior to upload

3.0:

- versatile & flexible metadata migration support (upload files and set their metadata in one go, scriptable or schedulable batch uploads loading mapped metadata from a variety of data sources)

We are looking forward to hearing how UploadZen 2.4 works for you.

The product documentation has not been updated yet. This will be available in a 2.4.0.x service release 1-3 days from now. But the admin GUIs and end user interfaces are highly self-explanatory.
