Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

Question

I am having a problem with publishing a project that I was able to publish before. I wrote this originally in 2015 and was trying to update the software and publish it. I get an error stating;

Error 2 An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign bin\Release\app.publish\setup.exe. SignTool Error: Signtool requires CAPICOM version 2.1.0.1 or higher. Please

 copy the latest version of CAPICOM.dll into the directory that contains

 SignTool.exe. If CAPICOM.dll exists, you may not have proper

 permissions to install CAPICOM. BedLabels

I have downloaded and installed the capicom.dll and it exists in the same location as signtool.exe.

When I run regsvr32 to register the dll I have gotten two errors for that; 

1;) the module loaded, but the call to the dllregister failed.

2;) the module failed to load

make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent. the specified module could not be found

I have checked and double checked the spelling and that the file is indeed in the right location. I have searched the internet for solutions and found several , but none have worked. I hope someone out there can help me with this.

Thank- you 

Jim
