You can try some of the solutions of this question:

• make sure the app is not installed or uninstall it (Control Panel)

• run "rundll32 %windir%\system32\dfshim.dll CleanOnlineAppCache"

• if this isn't enough, try again after a reboot

• removing any references to in the registry (but that was not enough) and then clearing %user%\AppData\Local\Apps
• try again as a different user account

The OP vmazur confirms in the comments:

My problem was solved by going to %LocalAppData%\Apps and deleting a folder called "2.0" there.

bkribbs cautions in the comments:

That 2.0 folder contains the data from multiple applications, I assume all the clickonce ones.
It would be worth going into that folder, expanding the names, and only deleting the ones with the app name in the folder name. Otherwise you risk losing other applications as well.
