All quiet! I wasn't sure if this was quite within the rules.

Us not replying is within the rules, yes. It generally means "I have no idea where you are going with this one". 
If you mean your clue may not be within the rules, then - understandably - I have no idea if it is. See above.

Yes, I'm not sure about my clue. It makes perfect sense to me - but, it would, I guess! 
As a very small hint: there are no anagrams involved.

No, just means none of us have a clue, and @OriginalGriff is fast asleep.

Its been a long day and my mind is stuck in a rut . I was watching a short doco before dinner about an ancient tsunami (which "run for the hills" reminds of) off the coast of Scotland which was caused by a strike "slip" fault. Couldn't fit the other clues into the theme.

No tsunami involved. I suspect "for the hills" is misdirecting people.
|
|
|
|
|
Then I'll take a wild-assed stab at it.
OROGRAPHY?

Nope. It's not a "hills" thing.

Eggs go bad after kids awkwardly vamoose.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case,
SKIDADDLE - run
Eggs go off ADDLE
After slip / kids SKID
It was definitely "for the hills" that was extraneous!

Yes, we have a winner. You got in just before I posted the solution, so I'm happy to hand over the mantle of setting it for tomorrow. Well done.
[Edit] I thought it would be too easy without the 'run for the hills' misdirection. Shows how much I know about setting CCC.

You guys have let me down! Synonym for "rubbish clue"! So here's the answer:
Eggs go off - ADDLE
after
slip - SKID
= SKIDADDLE
Even though this is an 'alternate' spelling, I thought giving you too much more would make it too easy. Hence: "run for the hills" - which is listed as a synonym for skidaddle, Skidaddle Synonyms, Skidaddle Antonyms | Thesaurus.com[^], but is not so obvious or possible to 'reverse lookup'.
Does this mean I'm back on tomorrow?

Roadblocks? Yes, indeed. Never got it to work at all, way back when. No real interest in trying it out again.

I was hoping you would have recovered from your trauma by now! 
That's fine, I'll try again for us both!

who actually recovers from Microsoft induced trauma? A couple, at best? The rest of us are left to live the rest of our lives in misery and torment, never to see a happy day again.

Yes. Exactly like that. Obviously!

How long ago was that?
My group has been using ClickOnce for over 5 years -- we have dozens of internal applications deployed from a SharePoint site. Once in a while a local instance will get bolluxed and need to be deleted and re-installed, but overall it works well for us.
Granted, the documentation is typical Microsoft documentation so we had to figure a lot of things out ourselves, but for internal WinForm applications, it handles installs and updates very well.

Be careful. When I do that, try out old MS techniques, find them useful and really want to use them, normally MS decides to discontinue the technique a month later. 
Happened last time with Silverlight...

In other news, I started to learn VB.NET. Seems very productive and MS-Access friendly!
You should try it too!
