I hadn't been able to confirm the manifest problems myself but a while
ago I received the following (it took a while to locate the email)
· Changed processorArchitecture from “X86” to “x86”
ClickOnce reported the following error:
“The 'processorArchitecture' attribute is invalid - The value 'X86' is
invalid according to its datatype
'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1:processorArchitectureType' - The
Enumeration constraint failed.”
· Removed ‘language=”*”’
According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/et7946ex%28VS.80%29.aspx
“language” isn’t a valid attribute on <assemblyIdentity> element, which
resulted in an error when trying to execute the ClickOnce installer
I suppose it makes their (Microsoft) programming easier if they require
exact labels and 'filename' (can be checked in-place and avoids
translations) but they could have warned people.
