If you do not care about sign your program when you publish  just right click your project then choose Properties --  Signing --  un-check Sign the ClickOnce manifest   I had the same issue when building my program on another machine which did not have ClickOne

The SignTool is available as part of the Windows SDK  which comes with Visual Studio Community 2015   Make sure to select the  ClickOnce Publishing Tools  from the feature list during the installation of Visual Studio 2015 to get the SignTool   Once Visual Studio is installed you can run the signtool command from the Visual Studio Command Prompt  By default  on Windows 10  the SignTool will be installed at C  Program Files  x86  Windows Kits 10 bin x86 signtool exe   ClickOnce Publishing Tools Installation     SignTool Location
