ProtectedData.Protect

I have a question about a problem using ProtectedData.Protect, User Settings
and ClickOnce together.

When we update our app, ClickOnce correctly brings over all the User
Settings/Application Settings from the earlier version --- except for the
user settings that we've encrypted using ProtectedData.Protect. We are
encrypting them for the current user, but something about them getting
copied over with a new version corrupts the encrypted password such that it
is no longer un-encryptable and must be re-entered. Does anyone else have
this problem or have any advice?

Thanks!
