VS 2017 Click once error during install

I am new to click once deployment. This is my first click once since VS2010. This is a signed multiuser application. The first error happens when I click on the install button on the publish.htm I get a message that "Setup.exe could harm your device. Do you want to keep it anyway." Then it gives another warning "Setup.exe" isn't usually downloaded. Make sure you trust setup.exe before you open it". After I jump through some hoops it will start the install. Then I get a popup window seen below.
What am i doing wrong I just want users to click on a link and install the application. It would be nice if I could designate the folder where the application is installed. This looks like it will install a shortcut to run the application form the server which is okay because this application uses a database so they have to be online to run it. But if they aren't able to access the database they cant run the application I have checks on the start form. Anyway lots of questions. I am sure it me and install options.




The details reveal a problem because only the Setup file was downloaded.
