Is anyone using ClickOnce with VS2010?

I’m getting the following on publish, when the solution builds fine …

Building WindowsFormsApplication1...
Error: Cannot publish because a project failed to build.

Have tried everything, new clean project (both windforms and WPF), new temporary key, disabled pre-requisites and played with every publish setting.

    Funnily enough, publish from right-click on the project menu seems to work. It fires up the wizard rather than just publishing, so not ideal, but I do have 2 workarounds now (including the one stated in my original post).
