dll must be strong signed in order to be marked as a prerequisite

[PGO01]

I have a click-once deployment win forms project that cannot build successfully because of this error:

Example.dll must be strong signed in order to be marked as a prerequisite.

I don't want to strong sign the Example.dll.

I have gone into 'Project Properties > Publish > Application Files' and made sure that Example.dll is marked as 'Include (Auto)' and not 'Prerequisite'.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

Fixed it!

My project (A) had a reference to another assembly (B) and they both referenced a third assembly (C).

The problem was that (B) was referencing an old version of (C) that was strongly signed.

Solution:
Opened project (B) and did the following:
1. Set reference to (C) to Copy Local = false.
2. Build > Clean Solution.
3. Build > Rebuild All.
4. Rebuild All on Project (A).
