.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / General / March 2008VB project will not Publish
A VB 2005 project that has been successfully built and published in the past will build but will not publish at this time. The project builds successfully from the Build menu, however, when I attempt to publish it, VS gives the following two errors: Error 1 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1 HourlyYield Error 2 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign bin\Debug\HourlyYield.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\Debug\HourlyYield.publish\\setup.exe '. HourlyYield The Signing tab on the project properties page shows a certificate expiration date of 10-3-07. Today is 3-25-08. I do not know how or where to get a new certificate or if this is even the root of my problem. Help???? John Melkerson You need to re-Create Test Certificate (Signing tab in project properties). It has probably expired. Also you user may need to remove/reinstall the client. I hear you can try changing the date as a work around.

If you use your own company certificate, your users/customers can also trust all applications by your company. The certs can be obtained from Versign, Comodo and others.
