InvalidDeploymentException error when deploying .NET Application

Question

I have two projects: Inventario, Produccion Dampers and I added Inventario as a reference to Produccion Dampers. When I publishProduccion Dampers I don't get an error but when I try to install I get this error:

Following errors were detected during this operation.
    * [2/11/2010 3:33:34 PM] System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (RefDefValidation)
        - Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly Inventario.exe.
        - Source: System.Deployment
        - Stack trace:

Any Ideas on how to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

the project being included as a reference (Inventario) was not signed at all, signing it with the same cert. as the other project (Produccion Dampers) solved the problem....
