Give this a try:
In control panel --> Regional and language settings --> Regional
Options tab, change the language to english(australia) and apply the
change, then change it back to English(United States) and apply. Once
you reboot your PC you will be able to install the app. This fixes
something in the registry settings, not sure what though...

Re: ClickOnce Store metadata "AppType" is not valid
After spending many hours with MS Support we have determined that the RegKey
"AppType" buried in here
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Deployment\SideBySide\2.0\PackageMetadata
The AppType is a few levels deeper and specifically related to the installed
application. MS Support had me delete the AppType key and that seemed to fix
it. But this is also a difficult workaround to sell to my clients. I will
try your suggestion above and report back. Thank You both for you comments.

Re: ClickOnce Store metadata "AppType" is not valid
Your suggestion is the exact method I use to correct a corrupt regkey
'sPositiveSign' found here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
