ClickOnce install error: "changed since initially published."

I have a trouble getting a ClickOnce, C#, Visual Studio application to install. I get the following error (retyped):

Setup has detected that the file
C:\...\Reportviewer.exe
has changed since it was initially published.
Click OK to retry the download or Cancel to exit Setup.

I deleted the previously existing Reportviewer, but the error persists. I'm doing this install via VPN (if it matters). What does this actually mean, and what can I do about it?

In the end, I took the ReportViewer prerequisite (and all the other prerequisites, too) out of the published version. We install ReportViewer from here:

You say that you've deleted the previously existing Reportviewer but there's a strong likelihood that you have some temporary files that are still being referenced during setup.

Try cleaning out any files under C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local[AppFolderName] or C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Roaming[AppFolderName] manually. If that doesn't work, try using the cleanmgr.exe utility to do a cleanup and then try reinstall.
