I've tried the digital certification (checking the "Sign the ClickOnce manifests"), but it hasn't changed the error message any; is this because my certificate is untrusted I've also tried using the mageui.exe, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Thanks in advance,
Cassie

    We're having the same issue and I can't seem to find any work-around or resolution from Microsoft regarding this. It also seems like this has been an issue for a LONG time and I'm concerned that Microsoft hasn't addressed this yet.

    In your project do you see [project]_TemperaryKey.pfx This file will be created by VS2005 for you for testing purposes. Make sure the file is there.If it is not there then they option you choose to sign is not correct and if the file is there try deleting file and try again.

    Hi, I'm having the same problem, but with mandatory profiles. .NET 2 seems to think that it is the same a guest profile. Any ideas on how I can get the application to run

    Thank you.
