Cannot deploy application - Value does not fall within the expected range

I am trying to deploy an early version application I made but I get this stack trace when I install it. Can anyone suggest anything?

I looked around the assembly in Visual Studio but couldn't find the right setting. I doubt it is that much to do with the assembly.

This is the error message I get when I install the application:

Here is some more information

EDIT: I found the ClickOnce store and also changed the version number of the project because it was wrong. Now the installer ITSELF crashes to this stack trace (which is a good sign):

Can anyone fix it now?

EDIT 2: I sort of fixed it by wiping the ClickOnce store as originally directed (but must have deleted the wrong files originally), but I lost all my data although it can be fixed by copying the folders back in. It would be nice to know what exactly was broken though.

EDIT 3: It broke one of my former projects. I fixed that by deleting the certificate, but I wonder if there was another way.
