Cannot publish my project..!

Hello,

I just made my first program in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta 2, it runs fine when I press "start debugging" (no errors or anything), but when I try to build>publish it I get the following 4 warnings:

- Warning 1 Could not find resources for culture 'en-US'. Using culture 'en' instead. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

- Warning 2 Could not match culture 'en-US' for item '.NET Framework 2.0 Beta'. Using culture 'en' instead. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

- Warning 3 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign publish\SimoNet Explorer_1_0_0_6\SimoNet Explorer.exe.manifest. sm.exe failed: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Simon\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\SimoNet Explorer\SimoNet Explorer\Explorer.exe.manifest'.
'. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

- Warning 4 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign publish\SimoNet Explorer.application. sm.exe failed: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: uriString
'. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

The program does get published but when I try to run the setup-file it says: "Unable to continue. The application is improperly formatted please contact the application publisher."

Anyone got any ideas

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks for posting question. Comments inline:

    - Warning 1 Could not find resources for culture 'en-US'. Using culture 'en' instead. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 
    - Warning 2 Could not match culture 'en-US' for item '.NET Framework 2.0 Beta'. Using culture 'en' instead. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

    >> These warnings can be ignored. It basically means that we couldn't find resources for english-US on your machine, so we've fallen back to the resources for the parent culture English (en). These warnings are superfluous and will go away in the final release of the product

    - Warning 3 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign publish\SimoNet Explorer_1_0_0_6\SimoNet Explorer.exe.manifest. sm.exe failed: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Simon\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\SimoNet Explorer\SimoNet Explorer\Explorer.exe.manifest'.
    '. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

    - Warning 4 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign publish\SimoNet Explorer.application. sm.exe failed: Value cannot be null.
    Parameter name: uriString
    '. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0 

    >> These two warnings are caused by the fact that one of the assemblies in your application has a space in its name. You need to rename the assembly w/o a space and republish.

    Hope this helps,
