Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly

If you try to reference an executable or a project with an executable you get an error when you try to update the application via ClickOnce.

 

The errror I got was:

"Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly"

 

The fix was found here:

And below are the steps:

I have test it with Visual Studio 2008 RTM, it works well now. The following steps are my test procedures.

1. Create a solution with two Windows Application projects, WinAppA and WinAppB.

2. Set WinAppA as publish project and add a reference to the WinAppB.

3. Open WinAppB properties window.

4. Click Signing tab, sign the ClickOnce manifests.

5. Click Security tab, enable the ClickOnce security settings.

6. Publish the WinAppA, publish well.

7. Test published WinAppA, it works well.
