Follow these steps

  1. Download a self-extracting zip file from here.
  2. Extract capicom.dll from this zip file 
  3. Copy Paste capicom.dll into your "C:/windows/system32" directory 
  4. click Start -> Run and type "REGSVR32 capicom.dll" and press OK 
  5. You should now be able to publish via ClickOnce.

Hello. I resolved this problem but i have a new problem.

My new error is this:
"SignTool Error: No certificates were found that met all the given criteria"

Anybody knows why this message appear in my execution?

This is the command line:
signtool sign -f datos\c1.pfx -p "pepito" -v datos\pepito.cab

where c1.pfx has been generated by IExplorer menu option.

Thanks!!! (sorry for my english ..........)

That did it for me, too! Thanks a lot.

FYI, CAPICOM.dll is located at
c:\Program Files\Common\Microsoft Shared\CAPICOM

I also did copy the CAPICOM.dll from
Program Files\Common\Microsoft Shared\CAPICOM to the SignTool.exe directory, as recommended here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa.aspx

the SignTool.exe directory is
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin

Just wanted to add that this also can happen in Visual Studio 2008.

Copying capicom.dll from "c:\Program Files\Common\Microsoft Shared\CAPICOM" to "c:\windows\system32" and registering it with regsvr32 works fine...
