I am trying to install a ClickOnce application and it is not working. I am told to delete the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0 folder. However I do not even have a C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps folder. I have tried just creating a folder named 'Apps' there and then starting the application but I still get the same error.

Why does my computer not have a C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps folder?

You probably need to check "C:\Users\Nate\AppData\Roaming" and not "Local". You can see your appdata folder by typing "%appdata% in start -> run.
