The tool is installed in the \Bin folder of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) installation path (Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0. 19041.0\x64\signtool.exe).
Once Visual Studio is installed you can run the signtool command from the Visual Studio Command Prompt. By default (on Windows 10) the SignTool will be installed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\signtool.exe.
By default, the Windows 10 SDK is installed into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10" folder.
What is signtool.exe? signtool.exe is a legitimate process file of Authenticode (R) – a signing and verifying tool. It is a part of Windows Operating System developed by Microsoft Corporation.
If I do not install Windows 10 SDK, but install Visual Studio, I typically find signtool.exe in the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce\SignTool\signtool.exe
This is a constant path that doesn't depend on the version of the Windows SDK. It's very convenient to use it in bat files or another automation stuff.

Starting from windows 10 SDK, the signtool.exe is now located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64
In this example, I used the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK-Version (10.0.16299) - and 64bit edition
Be careful, additionally it may be located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit
Update: Windows 10 Build 1809, now here C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x64
Update: Visual Studio 2022: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64
