.NET Tip: Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store

I downloaded a .NET project from Codeplex and When I tried to build it, I got the error 'Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store'. This is due to the property 'Sign the ClickOnce manifests' being used in the Project. I dont need that setting for my usage. So, The solution is:

Open the XX.csproj file in a text editor (notepad.exe) and remove the following tags from the XML.

<ManifestCertificateThumbprint>...</ManifestCertificateThumbprint>
<ManifestKeyFile>...</ManifestKeyFile>
<GenerateManifests>...</GenerateManifests>
<SignManifests>...</SignManifests>
