Clickonce application is already installed in another location. Please uninstall application

I'm facing some issues in the auto-updating for clickonce application. It keeps prompting this exception in the details log: System.Deployment.Application.Deployment.Exception(GroupMultipleMatch). I have tried researching around but nothing comes up. Need to resolve this error soon, anyone have an idea on this exception?

Here's the error detail log:
