.application File cannot be "found"

Hello,

I have a very simple application that I am trying to publish to a
Windows 2005 server. During my testing, I sucessfully published my
application using ClickOnce to my local IIS. I noticed two things that
VS2005 did during the publishing process:

1. It created a folder with my current version of the application &
four files (publish.htm, setup.exe, MyApp.application, and
MyApp_1_0_0_0.application).

2. It created a virtual folder in IIS with the project name (MyApp).

My problem is when I publish it to the Windows 2005 server. There are
no errors during the publish process, and it opens the "publish.htm"
page afterwards. When I click the "Install" button, IE shows me a "The
page cannot be found" error page. The file it is looking for is that
"MyApp.application" file (which does exist in the location it is
referencing). I have enabled ASP.NET within IIS & restarted, but this
does not seem to be a filetype it understands.

Another symptom is that the virtual folder is not created in IIS. I am
not sure if this is related to the problem, but I thought I would
mention it. Is this possibly something to do with permissions on the
server?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.

Thanx!

To answer my own question (in case anyone found this question later)...

The solution was to install the .NET Framework 2.0 to the server. Once
that was done, everything functioned properly.
