ClickOnce error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system

Anybody seen this one?

I'm prototyping an app using ClickOncelocally (for publishing and installation). Everything was going splendidly; but then this message happened to me. I've rolled things back to the point when it worked, but it won't go away.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
- The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B3)
- Source: System.Deployment

May be the ClickOnce application store has got corrupted, try deleting this registry key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Deployment\SideBySide. This would also uninstall all your ClickOnce apps.

Thanks, that did it! I think I confused some namespaces and could not recover.
