Publish tab for Project displayed with errors in Visual Studio C# Express

Hello,

I Just downloaded Visual Studio C# Express Beta 2.
I wanted to use ClickOnce deployment, but ...
I have problems with publish tab in Windows application project properties.
It shows:
"The error occurred trying to load the page.
The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your
application."

I tried reinstalling but that didn't helped.
Also the error is displayed when i try to right click the same project and select publish from there:
"The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your
application."

How to solve this problem or this feature is still not enabled in beta 2.

I also have this problem, but on Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 Team Server edition (not express). And yes, I did have beta 1 installed before, and had big problems uninstalling it. I had to do a manual cleanup, which may very well have caused this.

I choose Publish on a winforms project, and after successful build it gives the error message "Error: The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application."

Any tips on how to fix it I've tried to reinstall and repair VS 2005 without luck.

I have the Team Suite beta 2 version which until today has been able to publish without any issues. Suddenly this afternoon it stopped working. A message in the output window indicates a reinstall will fix the problem. Sadly it did not. Any thoughts on how to revive the publishing capability

This sounds like it may be an installation problem. Did you install Beta2 on a computer which previously had Beta1 installed

Thanks,

In order to trouble-shoot, I like to get some more info on the issue:

-Are you able to view other tabs in the project designer
-Are you able to load the publish wizard from the solution explorer (right-click on project->Publish)
