    sign tool not found

    I get this error when I publish a simple hello world. I build it and I have 0 errors.
    The error I get is "sign tool.exe is not found"
    I just download net 2015 to day.
    Code:
    using System;
    
    namespace HelloWorld
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                // This is a comment.
                Console.WriteLine("Hi");
                Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
                Console.ReadLine();
    
            }
    
        }
    }

    I hope someone here know what is wrong with this code
    Thank you

    Sounds like you're trying to sign your assembly. Go to "Project - > Properties" on the menu bar. On the left you'll see "Signing" In that tab you'll see "Sign Manifest" and "Sign Assembly". Make sure they're not checked.

    In that case, open the project file in Notepad or another text editor and remove the following sections. Save and re-open the solution.

    Code:
    <PropertyGroup>
        <SignManifests></SignManifests>
      </PropertyGroup>
      <PropertyGroup>
        <ManifestKeyFile></ManifestKeyFile>
      </PropertyGroup>
      <PropertyGroup>
        <ManifestCertificateThumbprint></ManifestCertificateThumbprint>
      </PropertyGroup>
      <PropertyGroup>
        <ManifestTimestampUrl></ManifestTimestampUrl>
      </PropertyGroup>

    Not usually. Sometimes if you set it to sign it'll stay in the project file even after you unchecked the box. It's a glitch I've noticed in every version of Visual Studio.
