Simple question.

I have a project that I released as a .exe. However, I can't run it in VS2017 because of this error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error  An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign bin\Release\app.publish\SQLSvrDETool_OOP.exe. SignTool Error: No certificates were found that met all the given criteria. SQLSvrDETool_OOP   

How do I reset this so I can check the code in the IDE?

Thanks,

MRM256

Thanks, now I can run the project in VS2017 IDE.

Now I can start figuring out why something that used to work in VS2013 doesn't in VS2017.
