Procedure:
You must clean out the ClickOnce cache files. This can be done in one of two ways:
A. Using the Cache Clearing Tool (Preferred Procedure)
- Go to http://deploy.spitfiremanagement.com/clickOnce/clickAgain/publish.htm to get the Clearing Tool.
- The tool has a single button. Click it and it clears the ClickOnce Online Application deployment cache.
- After the cache has been cleared, try to open the Spitfire site again.
B. Clearing the Cache Manually
- Browse to the Local Settings\Apps\2.0 folder. Note: The exact path will vary by Operating System. Examples:
Windows Vista or later – %LocalAppData%\Apps\2.0
Windows XP or 2003 – C:Documents and Settings/username/Local SettingsApps2.0 - Delete the entire contents of the Apps2.0 folder.
Additional Comments:
Applies to sfPMS that uses Microsoft ClickOnce deployment. If you get an Access is denied message when trying to browse to the Local Settings folder, have your IT Coordinator or Network Administrator assist you with the following steps to take ownership of the folder:
- Right-click on the Local Settings folder and select Properties.
- Select the Advanced Tab.
- Select the Owner Tab.
- At the bottom of the Owner tab select Edit.
- Select the owner to change to, check Replace owner on subcontainers and objects, then click OK.
- You will be prompted to replace the directory permissions. Click Yes.
