Identifies the application deployed in a ClickOnce deployment.

   name
   version
   publicKeyToken
   processorArchitecture
   language
/>

Elements and attributes

The assemblyIdentity element is required. It contains no child elements and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
`Name`	Required. Identifies the name of the application. If `Name` contains special characters, such as single or double quotes, the application may fail to activate.
`Version`	Required. Specifies the version number of the application in the following format: `major.minor.build.revision`
`publicKeyToken`	Optional. Specifies a 16-character hexadecimal string that represents the last 8 bytes of the `SHA-1` hash value of the public key under which the application or assembly is signed. The public key that is used to sign the catalog must be 2048 bits or greater. Although signing an assembly is recommended but optional, this attribute is required. If an assembly is unsigned, you should copy a value from a self-signed assembly or use a "dummy" value of all zeros.
`processorArchitecture`	Required. Specifies the processor. The valid values are `msil` for all processors, `x86` for 32-bit Windows, `IA64` for 64-bit Windows, and `Itanium` for Intel 64-bit Itanium processors.
`language`	Required. Identifies the two part language codes (for example, `en-US`) of the assembly. This element is in the `asmv2` namespace. If unspecified, the default is `neutral`.
