I have app that uses ClickOnce deployment. It works on about a dozen machines but one. I am getting following error. I found solution from http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.distributed_apps/msg/42d44ffe781d3610, but it requires go to the registry and delete AppType, which is not the best solution, because every time I have new version, it will fail again.
Does anybody has any idea about this type of error, and how to deal with it.
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely, Vlad.
