Publish Problem with signtool
I keep getting the following message when attempting to do a publish build of my programme....
Error2SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign bin\Release\WindowsApplication1.publish\\setup.exe. SignTool Error: Signtool requires CAPICOM version 2.1.0.1 or higher. Please
copy the latest version of CAPICOM.dll into the directory that contains
SignTool.exe. If CAPICOM.dll exists, you may not have proper
permissions to install CAPICOM.
'.WindowsApplication1
Ive done the obvious as detailed in the error message, but the problem remains.
Any ideas ?

I'm assuming by now you have this fixed...
Just incase or if anyone else comes across this - this is what you do
Using CMD.exe go to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin directory
type regsvr32.exe capicom.dll
Apparently the dll didn't get registered properly. All you have to do is re-register it.
Make user you capicom.dll is Version 2.1.0.1
This did not do the trick to me, I had to copy the file to
c:\windows\system32. I presume that uninstalling it from the system32
directory would also be good. Anyhow, it works again. Thank you for
pointing me in the correct direction.

I've found the file in the windows mobile 6.0 SDK and also in the VS common tools folder.
I suppose you can also found this file in the platform SDK.
--> c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin
Thanks for the answer.
I have found the capicom.dll in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin directory but by using the CMD prompt, I was able to register the dll from there by using the REGSVR.EXE CAPICOM.DLL command.
Thanks again.
I hope it will help others too.
