Hi Tony,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Refer to the error message, please check this similar issues: An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found and have a try with the following:

1.  Go to Control Panel-Programs and Features, right click the VS 2015 and Change-Modify, confirm the option “ClickOnce Publishing Tools” is selected or not, if not, please select it to update
2. Right click the project name and choose Properties-Signing and uncheck the “Sign the ClickOnce manifests”

If this issue persists, since our forum is to discuss the VS IDE and your issue is about the VB.NET development, you can also redirect to this appropriate forum: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vbgeneral to seek for a more professional support, thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Sara
