Try publishing through the Build menu instead of using the Publish button on the screen. This may be caused by a race condition.

Another thing I've seen recommended is to do a repair on Visual Studio; this could be a problem with the setup.bin file being corrupted.

On vs2010 Go to tools->import and Export Settings then click on Reset all settings. This solve my problem

You can also use publish button from the top menu : Build->publish
