ClickOnce Install/Uninstall broken

[dbxglock]

Howdy all,

I have a smart client application that is giving me an error when I try
to install it (error text below). There is an interesting twist though
that is likely causing the error. I recently developed this
application in the hopes of making it a smart client. The server where
the smart client application will be hosted does nto have the .NET 2.0
framework installed. It is not expected to be installed until sometime
next year. In the mean time, it was decided to make a standard windows
installer for it.

Here's where the problems started. The solution has a Windows
Installer project in it. The main project is also configured to be
published as a smart client. It seems that during my testing, I
accidentally installed both the windows installer version and the smart
client version of the application on my computer. When I removed one
of them via the control panel add/remove programs, it broke the
uninstall for the other one. Now I can't install or uninstall the
smart client version of the application. I get the error listed below.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Thanks,
Dan
