File associations are not allowed in deployment manifest. error when deploying via ClickOnce

Ok all...

When deploying a clickonce app using vs2008 over the .net 3.5 framework, I have added the following xml to the app manifest

(??? are used as representations, not the actual letters I use)

<fileAssociation xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:clickonce.v1"
   extension = ".???"
   description = "??? Document"
   progid = "???.Document"
   defaultIcon="???.ico"
/>

as described in the MSDN.

When I attempt to deploy the app on a test machine the following error occurs during install:

"Cannot Continue, the Application is Improperly Formatted.  Contact the application vendor for assistance."

reading through the details in the log we find:
File associations are not allowed in deployment manifest.


I should add that this is a full trust application, and we are currently using a test certificate.

According to MSDN this should be working.  Any idea why it is not?

Erick,
I started there, but went on to the actual MSDN page
