Visual Studio 2017 publish sign tool error
When I try to publish a C# Excel addin using Visual Studio 2017, I get the following error:
An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign binDebugapp.publishsetup.exe. Sign Tool Error: Invalid option /fd
I have tried uninstalling all versions of Visual Studio then reinstalling Visual Studio 2017. I've also Googled the error and tried 3 or 4 suggested solutions. None worked. Can anyone help?

Eureka!! I found it. The problem was that when I uninstalled previous versions of visual studio going back to 2007, it did not uninstall the associated sign tool. In 2007 /fd was not a valid option. I manually deleted them and reinstalled visual studio. It works fine now.

You provided the flag "/fd" to the signing tool and it does not understand this. Try updating all your C# sharp programs and if this does not help try finding a setting where you can set arguments to the signing tool.

Visual studio adds the "/fd" automatically. It's not in my code and I don't know where to find it. I cannot find that option in arguments for my signing tool or publish options. Thanks for the quick response.
