I have a ppt2013 plugin solution with vsto, developer machines with vs 2017 installed.When I build, it comes the signFile error. I've installed 

.Net framework 4.5.1 targeting pack
.Net framework 4.5.1 SDK
.Net framework 4.5.2 targeting pack
.Net framework 4.6 SDK
.Net framework 4.6 targeting pack
.Net framework 4.6.1 targeting pack
.Net framework 4.6.2 SDK
.Net framework 4.6.2 targeting pack

Does anyone have a good idea to solve the error?

I have resolved this issue.The SignFile is not installed correctly.enter image description here

Double Click SignFile directly to install leads to the issue.Select File in the Project followed the png's guid is right.

What framework does your project target? It seems to be similar issue described here.

Please make sure you've installed the corresponding target-framework SDK, also you may need to install the .Net 4.0 SDK and restart PC to build the project again.

In addition: It seems you haven't install .net 4.6.1 SDK, so if possible you may need to install the .net framework 4.6.1 SDK also. Go Tools=>Get Tools and Features=>Individual Components to install the .net framework 4.6.1 SDK package.
