Cannot publish project
Hi there.
I am trying to publish a project that is 100% working, so that people can use ClickOnce to install it.
Despite the project building and running fine, I am unable to publish it. Here is a cut and paste of the error message:
Error 2 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign bin\Release\VED1.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.
'. VED1
Now, before anyone asks, I have done EXACTLY what is says, I found CAPICOM, checked it's version, and copied into the TWO directories that I found that contain signtool.exe
No difference at all - not a sasuage. I have tried un-ticking all the "sign this sign that" boxes - nothing makes any difference.
Somebody please help. I need to resolve this as soon as possible.
Many thanks in advance

Do you have the same problem with other projects or is it just related to this one ?
Also have you tried creating a new test certificate in 'signing'
Just a thought, i'm fairly new but thought i'd try and help anyway.
