I have published several WPF applications using ClickOnce. This is great because I can direct my users to a web page and they can just click a button and run their app. Today, I needed to deploy a new application that uses a .xml file as input to a process. I deployed it a half dozen times, all unsuccesfully because they didn't include my .xml file.
The solution:
Change the build action to "Content".

Verify by looking at your Application files on the Publish tab of your project's properties.
