Answer 1

I've had this problem as well. Still not quite sure what caused it since I never had the time to find out. The thing I found was that the private key went missing!?

I did what coder_2007 suggests and it worked for one complete automated build but the next one would give the same error. So something on my build server broke the private key after a complete build (including several signed applications).

What I finally ended up doing was, immediately after importing the PFX, to go to %allusersprofile%\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys and write protect the latest file (the one that match the time of import).
