La solution

Here are two solutions for you to try, the second manual delete worked for me. (Also make sure you runt he installer with admin privileges.

Its likely to be a problem with the ClickOnce Application Cache. Could you try the following in order to clear the cache

  1. Hold down the Windows key and type R.
  2. Type in rundll32 %SystemRoot%\system32\dfshim.dll CleanOnlineAppCache in the run dialog and hit Enter.

Then try installing the application.

If that doesn't work, there's a more manual approach to ensuring the cache is cleared - you can delete the ClickOnce Application folder.

  • On Windows Vista or higher, this will be the %LocalAppData%\Apps\2.0 directory.
  • On Windows XP this will be the %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Apps\2.0 directory.

Note that this path may be in a different language if you're using a non-English version of Windows.

Autres conseils

deleting %LocalAppData%\Apps\2.0 folder works fine
