Hi,
Finally i found the solution to run my clickonce application. Everytime i started my clickonce application on another PC the framework and additional prerequisites installed ok, but when the clickonce application should be installed (locally) i got the error message 'Application is improperly formatted' with in the detailled message 'Deployment manifest contains an invalid application dependency'. It seems that whenever the setup.exe has run, you must reboot your PC and after the reboot you must start the '.application' file. If you click setup.exe again you will get the same error again and so must reboot again. The strange thing is that when you have started the '.application' file after the reboot and pressed cancel on the dialog (when not a trusted publisher) and click setup.exe, it will correctly call the application file and start it. Ik hope this will help a few people.
Greetings Sander

There is a known issue in Beta2 where if you run the setup.exe bootstrapper package from a UNC share directly ClickOnce application install will fail with this error. - 'Deployment manifest contains an invalid application dependency'
To workaround this kill the dfsvc.exe process and retry by doing one of the following:
1. Run setup.exe using publish.htm web page OR
2. Do this in two steps - first install Framework redist; then run .application directly from UNC path.
After you get this failure if you kill dfsvc.exe process and then click on UNC path to .application directly that will work. (Reboot was you way of killing DFSvc)

I'm sorry to say: I just installed VStudio standard edition and I've got the same problem (see http://www.dwld.eu/fotoles/publish.htm) and
1. it's not a beta version ( although there has been a beta version installed on this PC last year)
2. there is no process named 'DFSvc' to kill ...
I would appreciate any help !
