Procedure to change Connection string at customer's end

Oct 11 2007 4:03 PM

Hello,

What is the procedure to change the application connection string after an application is published? (At customer’s site... not necessarily after instalation)

I tried to change it by opening the abc.exe.config.deploy and changing the "connectionString" but then the application will not install giving me an error "exe.manifest, has a different computed hash than specified in manifest"

If the manifest is the problem, what is the procedure to make it work? (or change it)

I checked on previous postings and found a hyperlink that took me to the MS site.

I am running in circles between the mageui.exe tool the Visual Studio helpfile, I read all kind of deep explanation on security model, but honestly I am struggling to figure out by myself what would be the A,B,C process of it.

 I am missing the whole point of the thing.

Is it that hard to change a connection string at customer site? 

Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance for your Ideas.
