Question

I’m testing deployment of a dummy WPF browser application in Visual Studio 2010.

If I click on the localhost xbap it runs OK.

Then I publish it on a file server, \Bebrus1002\Intranet\it\ABS\WpfBrowserApplication1.xbap, but when I click on the deployed xbap I get this error:

Following errors were detected during this operation.
* [1/06/2012 18:14:34] System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (RefDefValidation)
    - Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly WpfApplication1.exe.

Any ideas?

I could resolve it by removing a leftover reference to another project.
