Visual Studio SignTool.exe Not Found
(8 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a project that was working fine until yesterday. When I was trying to debug it a message popped up that there are errors even though I can't see anything.
Build message shows this info:
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3616,5): error MSB3482: An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe was not found at path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\signtool.exe.
You will probably say I have to download this SignTool but how come everything was working fine earlier and now I need this tool?
Here is solution for you problem ,
I hope it will work,
Click on Project Properties ,
check for signing options
Uncheck all sign the assembly
Clean the Solution and Build it should work!.

Visual Studio 2019 hangs on "Execute Suggested Action" when adding a reference
(3 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
While trying to add a reference to class in a unit testing class, it takes infinitly long time to execute. I am adding the reference through "Suggested action" shortcut.
I've attached an image below. This keeps going on. I have reinstalled VS, but the problem still there.
I've noticed that problem too, but in Visual Studio 2019 Professional some time ago. It has been fixed after an update.
Do you have any update to apply?
Anyway you should report the problem to Visual Studio community through the menu:
This is a boring problem but you can avoid it adding the reference manually using the Reference manager

I've build a visual studio 2015 project into ".exe" and it worked on my computer and other computer. And then after i update my visual studio 2015, and build the program again, the ".exe" won't open on other computer, but it working as usual on my computer.
Does it have anything to do with the update ?
I've tried it on 3 others computers, on windows 7 it shows error clr20r3. But on windows 10 it doesnt show the error message
UPDATE : Sorry for not being specific. After googling i have found many similliar problem and it have something to do with the Net Framework. I've check my project application project target Net Framework it is 4.5.2. And i already create a setup wizard for it and it's include Net Framework 4.5.2 offline installer. I build it everything fine, then i try to run the Net Framework 4.5.2 installer on other computer, it says Net Framework 4.5.2 already updated/installed. But my app still wont open on that computer, only a loading (circle) symbol, but then the app won't open.
Without more information we cannot guarantee we'll provide a correct answer.
You should check for:
.NET Framework (in which you built the project with)
Configuration files
Dependencies
As we only got the information that it's "crashing", we cannot guarantee it will work.

Visual Studio SignTool.exe Not Found
(8 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I was writing a simple program in Visual Studio that requires an external library. When I debug it everything went smoothly.
Since I want to distribute the exe alone without the dlls, I installed Costura, clear all the previous builds and then press debug. Strangely the error "SignTool.exe not found" error pops out. However I am not publishing the exe, I am just trying to build it, how come this error will pop out?
Even after I uninstalled Costura, this problem still exists.
I suspect that Costura modifies your project to require signing. If you don't care about signing, you can disable/revert it.
It seems that SignTool.exe is not installed by default for VS2015, but you can add it yourself.

How to Debug .net applications without Visual Studio
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
At a remote computer I need to debug an executable which is built in release mode.
There is no Visual studio installed but the .Net framework is.
I read about windbg and remote debugging and other solutions fellow programmers suggested but the subject is vague and I don't have a complete overview of the subject and the options available for my condition.
There is a possibility i can get the .pdb file.
Edit: I know this post was marked as a duplicate. The difference with the other post is that i can not download or send large files like the Windows SDK and the computer does not have internet connectivity. As i said .net framework is installed. Where can i find mdgb??
dotPeek by JetBrains can generate PDB files for you (and act as a Symbol Server). https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/NETCOM/Introducing+JetBrains+dotPeek#IntroducingJetBrainsdotPeek-GeneratingPDBfiles

How to tell if .net app was compiled in DEBUG or RELEASE mode?
Hi,
If I have third party pre-compiled code, how can I tell if the .dll's provided are release or debug versions?
If the .pdb files exist alongside the .dll's, does that mean the dll's are debug versions?
Thanks
Nic
Not necessarily - there can be .pdbs transferred as well - you could look at the dll using reflector and check that the assembly information - if there is a Assembly: debuggable information like below
then its debug
