If you are unable to install Curse Client v4, it is often due to a corrupted Microsoft ClickOnce app store.

This issue can be resolved by doing the following:

From the Windows Start menu choose Run (Or Windows Key + R)
Enter the following, depending on your version of Windows, then click the OK button:
On Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps
(e.g. C:\Documents & Settings\Username\Local Settings\Apps)
On Windows VISTA / 7: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Apps
(e.g. C:\users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps)
Delete the 2.0 folder
Run or Install Curse Client v4

yes this is exactly the problem I was having with Windows 7. It started by me uninstalling version 3 of the client and since there is no separate uninstall for the 3.0 live and 4.0 beta BOTH clients get uninstalled with the built in windows uninstall control panel. For whatever reason this folder gets corrupted and the .NET installer then has a hard time installing itself. I even tried the .NET 4.0 beta 1 but of course you guys do not use this version of the framework so I uninstalled it. But after following the steps above 2 times it finally got past the install application error pop-up and now I can successfully login.

In the future of this development 4.0 client I would STRONGLY recommend you guys provide a version 3.0 and 4.0 uninstaller that says "Curse version 3.0" or "Curse version 4.0 beta". The uninstall only says "Curse client" and it uninstalls BOTH the versions. This is very bad.

Thanks for this tip it worked great. Well kinda... I can at least install v4 now, but I still can't get it to open up. I click the curse icon on my desktop, and it asks me what type of program do I want to use to open the file Curse Client.appref-ms

It recommends Internet Explorer, but I tried that and Firefox (which I mostly use) and it still doesn't work. At lease when I use Firefox, I get a page that has text that says, "http://clientupdate.curse.com/CurseClient.application#CurseClient.application, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=eee711038731a406, processorArchitecture=msil" and that's it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If your PC doesn't know how to handle a .appref-ms file, then you likely have a corrupt install of .Net. I recommend repairing it by installing this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7

THANKS. This was the fix. You should post your fix on the main pages for people. It would save a LOT of heartache. I have had Microsoft helping me with this for over 10 hours.

This fix did not work for me with Windows 7.

I use windows 7 ..I tried deleting the 2.0 folder .. and no luck. Seems to install the .net, and then asks me if installing the client is OK .I say yes. .

it goes through the install, then in the Cannot start application dialog box, it says:

Application validation did not succeed.

Click no the details button, and I see this in there ...

ERROR SUMMARY Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.

Activation of http://clientupdate.curse.com/CurseClient.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected: + File, Xceed.Wpf.Controls.dll, has a different computed hash than specified in manifest.

Under error details, it says:

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Haven't found any other posts with reference to this particular error. Installed v4. Told me I could launch it from the start menu/desktop. Did so, get this:

Error

I've run the 3.5 repair. Thoughts? Can we actually see the exception details somewhere?

I attempted to install Curse client 4 on my out-of-the-box Windows 7 64bit machine this weekend and got the same error. Also the program refuses to be uninstalled.
