it has been discussed before, you have to remove the setup project and to create your own signature .snk file.
By the way, i think the Setup project is not really needed and could be removed from gifComponents

Thanks for posting the error message.

The setup project can be safely excluded from the solution, it's only there for safekeeping and completeness in case my hard disk dies, and you only need it if you want to build an installer for the app.

The workaround for the error about the snk file is discussed here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gifcomponents/index.php?title=Strong_Name_Keys - either create your own .snk file or edit the project properties to turn off assembly signing.
