I just moved a Visual Studio project from one computer to a different one. When I then tried to rebuild the solution I received the following error:
"Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store"As I was sure that I wasn't using any certificate to sign the assembly I couldn't understand the reason for this error message and the integrated help system for Visual Studio wasn't a big help either. It turned out that I had to manually go into the *.csproj file and remove the following three lines that were apparently left over from some past experiments with signing using a certificate:
<manifestcertificatethumbprint>...</manifestcertificatethumbprint> <manifestkeyfile>...</manifestkeyfile> <generatemanifests>...</generatemanifests> <signmanifests>...</signmanifests>After I had removed those lines I reloaded the project and the solution rebuilt just fine. There is more information on this subject at a Microsoft Forum.

Thank you,- it worked
thanks. Same problem. Worked like a champ.
Sometimes experiments run amok can be the worst bugs.
This worked like a champ, thanks
Holy crap dude.. I looked everywhere for this. 2 hours I've been searching online. Even read that msdn thread you referenced.. But your suggestion worked. Thanks!

Just re-loaded a console app that I haven't looked at in 18 mos or so and the first attempt at compiling it generated this error. Your Suggested fix got me back on track. Thanks. --Brett
Very useful, this worked for me too. Not sure what caused this to happen, I haven't been using any certificates in this project.
I had this problem happen when moving a solution to another computer and converting from VS2005 to 2008.
Not sure why this happened but the fix worked for me too.
Thanks!

you more genius than people in MSDN Forum i can't find the answer in MSDN Forum but i find the answer in this blog, "GOOD JOB MAN !"
Awesome!!
i cant fing cproj file in my vs2008 desktop application.... :(
plz help me...
@Anonymous: The csproj file is not directly visible in the solution explorer. You have two options: 1) you unload the project from the solution, then pick "Edit ....csproj" from the context menu. 2) you can use Windows Explorer and locate the file on the disk, then edit it using notepad.
Thanks! This happened to me after upgrading a project from VS2008 to VS2010. Edited the .csproj file using notepad in the filesystem, then reloaded the project and it built just fine.
Thanks it worked for me.
Thanks a lot. It saved lot of time.

@Anonymous Yes, that helps in some cases. Thank you for the link.
I didn't find nothing with this extension: *.csproj
How can i find it? I have the same problem.
@Anonymous: If you can't find a file with the extension "csproj" chances are you are not using C# ...
I didn't assess whether this blog post applies to other languages as well.
