ClickOnce prerequisite installation error

I have a ClickOnce application that I'm trying to test the installation.
I've set the prerequisite to be .NET 4.0.
When I test it on a workstation with Windows 7 and explicitly remove .NET 4 using the Control Panel, the ClickOnce installation appears to be installing the .NET prerequisite, but then fails with the error message box:

Title: System Update Required
Body: Unable to install or run this application. This application requires your system to be updated to Microsoft Common Language Runtime Version 4.0.30319.0. Please contact your system administrator.

If I exit this failing installation and immediately retry the ClickOnce install, the installer does not appear to install .NET 4 and does successfully install my application.

Any ideas?
