I have a .csproj that I want to publish to a clickonce server.
When I publish the application from one development computer it works and the program can be started from the server without any problems.
I download the same project from svn to another computer and try to publish it. That step kinda works, i guess, since the program is published successfully without any errors.
But when I try to start the program from the server I get the error:
Application requires that assembly office version 12.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache(GAC) first.
Update: (also posted info in comments). I am receiving this warning on both machines though I don't know how to solve. But it's probably the cause of the problem I guess:
No way to resolve conflict between "office, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" and "office, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c". Choosing "office, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" arbitrarily.
1> Consider app.config remapping of assembly "office, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" from Version "12.0.0.0" [C:\Windows\assembly\GAC\office\12.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\office.dll] to Version "14.0.0.0" [D:\Visual Studio\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office14\office.dll] to solve conflict and get rid of warning.

So I finally solved this. First I thougt I'd describe how the project looked. Under references there was no reference to the office.dll file though this actually ended up in the published directory when computer1, which was able to publish a working copy, published the project. Also under properties->publish->ApplicationFiles the office.dll was listed as exluded.
computer2, which couldn't publish a working project, had the same installed programs as computer1. So I tried to add the reference to office.ddl, set it to copy local and include it in applicationfiles. Now there was a office.dll copied to the published directory but the same error appeared. installed and re-installed a bunch of programs, no improvement. After I've been trying alot of randomstuff I ended up copying the dll from computer1, referenced it, set it to copy local and included it. And, voila, it worked?
