@T.Zacks , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Could you provide the detailed steps about how do you publish your winform project? Based on the error you got, you are publishing the project to shared folder, right?
Maybe you could try the following advice:
First, Please delete your bin and obj folder and rebuild the project.

Second, Please Run your Visual Studio as administrator.

@T.Zacks , as kyle said in the question, ClickOnce does not support the creation of "uninstaller". If you really want to create the uninstaller, you could try to use Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects to create a uninstaller. BTW, do you try the above advice? Does it work for you?

Answer 1

By default, a Visual Basic Windows-based application includes an App.config file. There will be a problem when a user tries to install from a Web server that uses Windows Server 2003, because that operating system blocks the installation of .config files for security reasons. To enable the .config file to be installed, click Use ".deploy" file extension in the Publish Options dialog box.

You also must set the content types (also known as MIME types) appropriately for .application, .manifest, and .deploy files. For more information, see your Web server documentation.
