dotnet clr : ClickOnce in VS 2005 Beta 1 ?

Has anyone gotten ClickOnce to work with VS 2005 Beta 1?

I tried the simplest of apps, Published it using VS 2005,
and am getting the following error when clicking the published
link:

"Deployment manifest requires publisher and product specified."

Indeed, the manifest contains this line, where "publisher" is empty.

<description asmv2:publisher="" asmv2:product="test"
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" />

Trying to edit it by hand does not work, the file has an XML
signature.

Has anyone encountered the problem & found a solution ?

Or how could I easily resign the file after having added a publisher ?

Thanks,

I too cannot get ClickOnce to work with VS 2005 Beta 1, as I am
getting the same error. I cannot find the line <description> inside
the manifest file. THe only manifest file I have is
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DelMe2\DelMe2_1.0.0.1\DelMe2.exe.manifest

Is there another / meant to be another?

As alternative to the VS 2005 publishing feature, you can use the .NET
Framework utilities to deploy your ClickOnce application:

Many thanks for this Gabriele. I was also able to run ClickOnce
successfully from VS 2005 after installing VS 2005 Beta 1 on a
"clean" machine, one that did not have the Technology Preview
installed and uninstalled before Beta 1 was installed, which was
the case for the machine on which ClickOnce failed. The problem
may come from there.

Thanks Gabriele, I tried doing it manually and it worked fine
(although it does defeat the point of "Click Once"!). Ralph, I did not
have the Technology Preview installed at any stage, but ClickOnce
still does not work. I can only assume this is a bug which will be
