The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B3
I have an application that is distributed with click-once. One of my users already makes use of it for quite some time without any problems. Only recently, he is not able to launch the application anymore.
During the check that is made to see if there is a new version of the software, he gets the message: "Application cannot be started, contact vendor"
If I copy my application manually, he is able to launch it without any problem.
I included the detailled log below.
Any suggestions?
