How to install SignTool.exe in Visual Studio 2015 for Windown 10?I tried to build my project but the program threw an error :
Error An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found.
This comes with the Windows 7 SDK, so you should be all set out of the box. Visual C 10 (VS2010) Express. Download and install the Windows 7 SDK. Older versions. Some of the older version are no longer supported, further information is available at Obsolete Build Caveats and Tips en-US under the Windows SDK article. Windows 8 SDK (Official). Aug 11, 2015 Note: The Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT better known as WPRUI/WPR/Xperf) that ships with Windows 10 ADK/SDK is not compatible with Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The stack (module!function) will show up as???!???

You need to install the Windows 10 SDK.
- Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 contains it already, but it is not installed by default. You should go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and select 'Change'.
Visual Studio 2015 setup will start. Select 'Modify'.
It has a very suitable interface for maintaining account details and it is very simple and convenient to use. QuickBooks Pro 2013 is a transparent and an Energy efficient tool. A study conducted in 2015 showed that 85% companies across the globe use QuickBooks pro 2013. Quickbooks 2016 crack activation.
In Visual Studio components list find 'Universal Windows App Development Tools', open the list of sub-items and select 'Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10240)'.
- Of cause you can install Windows 10 SDK directly from Microsoft: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=698771
As josant already wrote - when the installation finishes you will find the SignTool.exe in the folders:
- x86 -> c:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx86
- x64 -> c:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx64
If you only want SignTool and really want to minimize the install, here is a way that I just reverse-engineered my way to:
- Download the
.isofile from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk (current download link is http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=2022797) The.exedownload will not work, since it's an online installer that pulls down its dependencies at runtime. - Unpack the
.isowith a tool such as 7-zip. - Install the
Installers/Windows SDK Signing Tools-x86_en-us.msifile - it's only 388 KiB large. For reference, it pulls in its files from the following.cabfiles, so these are also needed for a standalone install:4c3ef4b2b1dc72149f979f4243d2accf.cab(339 KiB)685f3d4691f444bc382762d603a99afc.cab(1002 KiB)e5c4b31ff9997ac5603f4f28cd7df602.cab(389 KiB)e98fa5eb5fee6ce17a7a69d585870b7c.cab(1.2 MiB)
There we go - you will now have the signtool.exe file and companions in C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10bin10.0.17763.0x64 (replace x64 with x86, arm or arm64 if you need it for another CPU architecture.)
It is also possible to commit signtool.exe and the other files from this folder into your version control repository if want to use it in e.g. CI scenarios. I have tried it and it seems to work fine.
(All files are probably not necessary since there are also some other .exe tools in this folder that might be responsible for these dependencies, but I am not sure which ones could be removed to make the set of files even smaller. Someone else is free to investigate further in this area. :) I tried to just copy signtool.* and that didn't work, so at least some of the other files are needed.)
As per the comments in the question.. On Windows 10 Signtool.exe and other SDK tools have been moved into '%programfiles(x86)%Windows Kits'.
Typical path to signtool on Windows 10.
- 32 bit = 'c:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx86signtool.exe'
- 64 bit = 'c:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx64signtool.exe'
Tools for SDK 8.0 and 8.1 also reside in the 'Windows Kits' folder. https://shotomg.netlify.app/just-dance-hits-download.html.

Screenshot:
If you're using VS Express 2015, just go to your control panel --> programs and features --> select vs 2015 --> click change, then in the VS Express installer select 'Modify' --> select Publishing tools, and finish. Once setup completes the changes you will be able to create your installer.
You should go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and select 'Change'.Visual Studio 2015 setup will start. Select 'Modify'.
In Visual Studio components list, open the list of sub-items and select 'ClickOnce Publication Tools' and 'Windows 10 SDK' too.
Windows Sdk 7.1a Download
I did a modify with the Visual Studio from Control Panel, Programs and Features. The SDK was not at first apparent so I installed the Common Tools which lo and behold did include the SDK Update 3.
In 2019, this is a quite recent link from Microsoft about how to obtain this tool:
Microsoft Sdk 7.1
The SignTool tool is a command-line tool that digitally signs files, verifies signatures in files, or time stamps files. For information about why signing files is important, see Introduction to Code Signing. The tool is installed in the Bin folder of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) installation path.
SignTool is available as part of the Windows SDK, which you can download from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=84091.
I only needed signtool, so I chose the minimal I came up with and signtool.exe is now in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv7.1Binsigntool.exe
