Issue installing windows forms application on client machine.

See more:

C#

I wrote my first windows forms application, a simple one mind you, that works fine when installed on the machine I developed it on. I used the Clickonce method to publish in VS 2010. However, when I try and install it on any other machine, it fails to install. I admit my ignorance in this process and request any suggestions on material to study.

A message box prompts a message that states:

"Cannot download application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance."

I clicked the "Details" button and it showed this:
