  I don't make any COM references.

  When I click on my .application file, it immediately gives the error. And only for this single user.

  That did it. I deleted the folder and there it went. Thanks for the help.

  What com references are you using in your application

  From the description of this error it looks like the ClickOnce store has somehow got corrupted for this one user.

  Try the following to recover the store:

  1. Run "Mage -cc". (Mage.exe can be found in the .NET 2.0 SDK)

  2. Uninstall the application via Add/Remove Programs and reinstall it

  3. If neither of these work then the last option is to delete the ClickOnce store and get back to clean state. To delete the ClickOnce store delete the folder "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps".

  Before deleting the store if you can send a snapshot of your corrupted store to Microsoft to evaluate further that would be very helpful. You can submit via feedback on http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio.

  Instructions to submit store contents:
  - Package entire contents of folder %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps into a .zip file
  - Export regkey HKCU\Software\Classes\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Deployment to .reg file

  Attach both of these with Feedback report.

  Please make sure this folder does not contain any information that is Private or sensitive in nature before submitting.

  I got recently got the same error on another ClickOnce install. Do you want us to follow the information above and send a Snapshot of the store to Microsoft

  Or do you have another solution to this that might work. We've tryed a Few times to remove the app from the Add/Remove programs and it doesn't appear to work. Have not tried the Mage -cc option yet.

  Thanks
