ClickOnce - Visual Studio 2010 - Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly adxlauncher.exe.

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and I cannot get even the simplest ADX COM project to deploy with ClickOnce.  I created a new ADX COM for Office 2007 in visual basic for Excel.  I add an empty ribbon tab (which I can register and see on my development machine).  The project builds fine and I can publish using ClickOnce with no errors.  However, when I try to install I get

Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly adxlauncher.exe.

This seems to be a common problem for which I have not seen a straightforward detailed solution.  Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
