I have a Windows forms application that was developed in Visual Studio 2005 and deployed to an IIS server through ClickOnce. I upgraded to VS2008, so I decided to upgrade and redeploy the application (in the test). I launched the update wizard, manually changed the project runtime to 3.5, deleted all old publication files from the deployment server and published the application.
I can run it without problems (ie, "running on my machine"), but when others start it, they get an error.
Unable to continue. The application is not formatted correctly. Contact your application provider for assistance.
The Details button will appear in the error dialog box. Here are some of the contents.
