Tried those. Did not solve the problem. Well I did not publish the application
but I did specify to sign the ClickOnce manifest. As I did not actually publish
it, there would be no manifest so it was not surprising it did not solve
anything.
When I commented out
listBox1.Items.Add("GetMachineStoreForApplication : " +
IsolatedStorageFile.GetMachineStoreForApplication());
and
listBox1.Items.Add("GetUserStoreForApplication : " +
IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication());
It seemed to like it better (at least I did not get an exception).

Just like where ClickOnce actually places one's assemblies and related stuff.
It does not matter as long as I can create a file or directory and use this to
persist information (and read it back of course).

Good point. We wouldn't have a job would we. I could say something about MS
Access developers but I must resist the temptation.

Peter, is it something to do with the need for a strong name or a publishing
certificate?
I don't think your listbox will show anything useful, as the physical location
of these stores is rather opaque (you can see them buried deep under the Users
folders with mangled folder names that look like they're made of hashes.
Why does something that should be simple have to be made so hard??
