Publish error in default projects - SignTool.exe not found

Hi,

I get an error when attempting to Build->Publish either a new Windows Forms or WPFApplication. The project builds fine, but when trying to publish I get the following errors:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5.20404\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3155: Item 'Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0' could not be located in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SDK\v3.5\Bootstrapper\'.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5.20404\Microsoft.Common.targets(3520,9): error MSB3482: An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found.

Done building project "WPFApplication1.csproj" -- FAILED.

I've tried targeting .NET v2.0 and switching off the Signing and Security settings (they are always switched back on automatically.) Do I need to download an SDK (to get hold of SignTool.exe.)

BTW - I do think Orcas is a huge step forward.

Many thanks,

Daniel

Hi Deniel,

This looks like a know issue in the installation of Express SKU's. The missing file is not installed under the correct directory.

A possible workaround is

Copying contents from the local machine D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SDK\v3.5\bin

To

D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin

Please let me know whether it works.

Thanks.
