You would receive the below error message while running a ClickOnce bootstrapper created using Visual Studio/on Windo WS XP Systems.

Clickonce bootstrapper Engine (Setup.exe) that's shipped with Visual Studio-is no compatible with any OS below Win  Dows Vista. So, the above error message was expected and by design. The reason for this behavior are because the bootstrapper is compiled using the VC compiler and the Dev11 VC compiler does Not support Windows XP.

So the workaround are to install all the prerequisites manually and launch the ClickOnce application directly from Deployme NT manifest file (. application). Another workaround would is to create a sample ClickOnce application using Visual Studio OR Visual Studio-with T He same name as mentioned in Visual Studio and publish it. From the published location take the Setup.exe bootstrapper and replace the existing Setup.exe bootstrapper created using Visual Studio 2012
