According to the FAQ to GoDaddy they support SignTool from Microsoft, but mage.exe isn't mentioned. Mage.exe is used to sign the application, but I haven't been able to figure out if mage.exe uses SignTool. If anyone have used GoDaddy's code signing certificate for ClickOnce a short confirmation would have been appreciated.

I'm using GoDaddy's code signing certificate with a ClickOnce deployment. To sign the deployment, I just call the SignFile Task in MSBuild during the deployment build script.

Any reason for not using mage.exe?

Our deployment script is completely written in MSBuild, so we can use GenerateApplicationManifest and GenerateDeploymentManifest tasks to create the .application files. The outputs of those tasks feed directly into the SignFile task, eliminating the need to use mage.

Both the Mage.exe as well as the SignFile MSBuild Task use the SignTool.exe to sign the files. (reflectored both tools, to build my own custom solution)
