password protected folder in IIS for clickonce deployment

Question

Hey Im not sure this is the correct forum for this but it seemed possibly the most appropriate. I have an application that i have published (for ClickOnce deployment) to a folder on my web server. Now it all worked fine but ever since i changed the permissions in IIS to not allow anonymous access to this folder i now receive an error when trying to run the setup file. URLDownloadToCacheFile failed with HRESULT '-2146697191' It is essentially saying it is unable to download. Now im fairly sure this is caused by me removing anonymous access but i do not know how to fix it ! I cannot allow anonymous access. Any pointers would be great! regards

Ok seems the issue is actually not with this. If i publish it (from VS) to http://mydomainname.co.uk/myapp/ it works fine. However if i publish it to /myapp/>http:// /myapp/ the download fails.
