I basically had the same problem. Try to delete the Installation Targets in your .vsicmanifest. In my case, I noticed that I couldn't edit them any more and I didn't have to, but I deleted and recreated them the same way they were and somehow that fixed the problem.

Another approach I read about, is that the path name for the templates destination becomes too long to process for the installer, so maybe if you shorten the project and -map Names and try again.

If that doesn't help, try to make a new VSIX-project and add your .zip documents there.
