Visual Studio 2013 - Started to receive the error: "Error signing assembly -- Unknown error (8013141c)" when compiling. Few of the projects are signed using a snk file. It used to compile and has been in production for quite some time.

This is a permission issue. To resolve this error; open the following folder - “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys”, and give your user (whatever account you use to log onto your computer and work on Visual Studio) full control. You can do it by right-clicking on the MachineKeys folder and select properties, and in the security tab, make sure the current user have full control.
