ClickOnce deployment - unable to install

Unable to install the windows application through ClickOnce deployment.

I have uninstalled my DEV version of the application. But when I am trying to install test version, it is popping up error message "Application with same identity already exists".

I have uninstalled my application through Control Panel. Is there any other way to find whether the application exist in the system.

a quick google came up with the below: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/d7d57446-f0b2-4b9e-96b8-966218306ddd/unable-to-install-an-application-because-an-application-with-the-same-identity-is-already-installed?forum=vsto

According to this link, the workaround is to clear the ClickOnce cache of application manifests before reinstalling. To clear the ClickOnce cache,

  1. Open command prompt by inputting cmd in Run from Start menu.
  2. Switch to the path which mage.exe is in. In my side, the path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin. Input "cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin".
  3. Now input Mage.exe -cc. It will appears a notice: Application cache cleared.
