In Visual Studio 2010, you could use

Answer 1

Ok, because this was the first hit on google for "SignTool.exe not found on buildserver", I will add additonal Info for VisualStudio 2015 and Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit.

I had to add the ClickOnce Publishing Tools in VisualStudio Setup:

After this you find signtool.exe in

• c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64\
• c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86\
• c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\arm\

With Visual Studio 2017 installed it is found in

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\arm\signtool.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\arm64\signtool.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\signtool.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\signtool.exe

And with Visual Studio 2017 15.7.4 the Path changed again according do the selected Windows 10 Kit you install.

You will get the path generic by starting the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2017

and type in where signtool.exe
