Can't Publish-SignToolError

[Paul Engel]

I have an app that published fine to our network. We just moved to a new
server and I am trying to publish my app to the new server. It fails and I
get the following messages:

Error 1 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1
TextFileConverter

Error 2 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign
bin\Release\TextFileConverter.publish\\setup.exe. SignTool Error:
ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80880253

The signer's certificate is not valid for signing.

SignTool Error: An error occurred while attempting to sign:
bin\Release\TextFileConverter.publish\\setup.exe

'. TextFileConverter


Does anyone have any ideas? I noticed the double hack before setup.exe...but
can't figure out if that's a problem and where to change that.

Click Once.

Are you using ClickOnce deployment (the publish tab) or a set&deployment
package?

Your question gave me what I needed. i searched Google for OneClick and
Signed and found the answer. In the end, I went into the Signed property tab
of my properties for the projecdt, clicked on create test signature, used
the same password I used last year and it created a new signed certificate
that expires in a year. I was thereafter able to publish my app. Thanks!

I'll remember that next year!
