Publish fails over bad certificate

[nir]

Hi all,

We encountered a problem while trying to publish our add-in.
This is the error message:

"Error   8   
An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign bin\Debug\app.publish\\setup.exe. SignTool Error:
No certificates were found that met all the given criteria.   ElectricSchema "

What  should we do ? We've read about pfx files etc. but how can we create them ? do we even need to ?

Thanks.

Do you have a code-signing certificate?
If so then ... you need to get it setup for signing - that's a more complicated story.
If not then either:
1. get a code-signing certificate
2. remove the part of your publishing script that does the code-signing.

Hi Paul and thanks for the answer.
We've tried to remove scripting from publish but it keeps re-marking the radio button for certificates.
We're trying now to get a valid certificate file.
