Manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened

Asked by softwarea in Windows Forms for .Net, C# Programming Language, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: C#, System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (ManifestParse)

Hi experts,

I'm really going nuts with this here. I'm using VS 2005 and I'm just trying to publish a simnple C# application. Using the built-in Publish Wizard this should be a piece of cake. Unfortunately not for me.

After publishing all neccessary files and starting the <setup.exe> I receive an error message (see attached file). It says that something is wrong with the manifest file...

Even after doing some researches about manifest files I have to admit that I still don't really understand it's purpose. Anyway: The application I'm publishing is for internal purposes only, so I don't need any certificate stuff. So I unchecked the "Sign the ClickOnce manifests" checkbox on the signing tab, published again and hoped everything would be fine now. Unfortunately nothing changed. Still get the error on starting the <setup.exe>.

I guess I'm missing something easy...could anybody please help me, please!

Thanks!
