Application Validation did not succeed. Unable to continue

I'm getting this error after publishing to the server. It occurs when I test the install.
The dll in question in the manifest file on the target differs from the version I show in my references.
EXAMPLE: 1.0.3236.22091 (is source) vs. 1.0.2824.22979 in the generated manifest file on the server. The dll in question was generated from VS2003.
This seems to be isolated to my setup. If I have another developer (who was the original author of the deployed application) pull my copy from source safe, the problem goes away (for him) but I still eperience the error.
This is a Visual Basic windows application (.Net 2.0 framework)

Any Ideas as to where I might start looking?
