Problems using Click Once Deployment

[Chance1234]

I have a C# windows application. It works fine and I have no problems installing it on XP based machines, and the windows 2003 box that it was developed on.

I am trying to install it on another windows 2003 box and I am running into problems.

First of all I was getting an error box with the following when trying to run the setup.exe

Cannot Continue. The application is improperly formatted.
Contact the application vendor for assitance

Reading BOL and googling , I noticed that most of these problems occur around the manifest.

My application doesn’t include any spaces in its name, which seems to be the main reason behind this.

After changing many settings to do with security and signing, I am still no further. I have posted the log from the last attempt below this message.
.
I think I have now reached the point where , rather than going through all the settings again, I should start clean.

So, my question is, if you were about to deploy an application, which is to be installed from a server path for a windows 2003 box. What steps would you take ?
