Why does an up-to-date ClickOnce application perform upgrade?

We have a ClickOnce application configured to automatically upgrade. On a few of the client machines, the application is running for days, and then mysteriously "upgrades" before launching. This upgrade is unexpected as the user was already running the most up to date version, and we did not publish a new version.

One suspicious clue is that there were more than 2 folders in the ClickOnce installation cache (C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Apps\2.0). Instead of 2 folders (one named "Data" and the other with a mangled name), there are 6 folders (one "Data" and several with mangled names).

Has anyone else ran into this issue of unexpected upgrades?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is the application actually updating? Maybe you are just seeing the flash of the progress bar as it's checking for updates.

Run Fiddler to see exactly what files are being downloaded when this update happens.
