signtool.exe not found in vs2008

Question

I'm trying to publish a program in vs2008 but I get the following error,

• can not publish because a project failed to build.

• An error occurred while signing: signtool.exe not found.

I've been searching Google for some time now but I can't find the answer.

I can't find signtool.exe; can anyone tell me where I can get it?

Answer 1

signtool.exe is included with the Windows SDK, and a copy of the Windows SDK is included with VS2008.

It should be installed as %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\signtool.exe, but it might depend on installation options.

Another route is to install the Windows SDK directly (latest version includes Win7/2008R2 support).

Answer 2

VS 2008 - This tool is located at,

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

Answer 3

Probably you could find in any one of this location.

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

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin
