Visual Studio 2017 publish sign tool error












2















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.

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
