Hi,
I got exactly the same problem, and I checked Google, but the copy-directory
solution does not work for me. The files are simply not there.
Please advice me on the actions to be taken, as my customers are waiting for
a new publish, and this does not work.

Kind regards,

R. van der Gugten.

SignTool.exe is installed by Visual Studio 2005 and by the Platform SDKs. If
you have installed any of these then you should be able to search Program
Files and find the tool. A search of the Internet should turn up info on
where to get the file specifically. On my computer, the file shows up in
these locations:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin

Thanks. Allthough when I used VS2005 this problem did not occur. Only when
installing VS2008, I had this issue.
I solved it by copying the signtool from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin directory to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin directory. I did not find the other locations you mentioned.

However I would like MS to check the installation of VS2008 on this issue,
as I tested it on two computers (Vista) and both had this problem. Thanks for
the quick response.

Reinier.
