Folks,

Have put up a walkthrough (tutorial) on using SetupBuilder to code-sign your
own Exes/DLLs. It's really, really simple.

Stu,

Thanks for sharing - I'd suggest adding the TimeStamp URL.

You will definitely put some of the "newbie" code signers at ease with your
easy to follow instructions!

Stu,

The practical side of timestamping is answered in this Comodo FAQ:

http://www.instantssl.com/code-signing/code-signing-faq.html

"Is timestamped code valid after a Code Signing Certificate expires?

Timestamping ensures that code will not expire when certificate expires. If
your code is timestamped the digital signature is valid even though the
certificate has expired. A new certificate is only necessary if you want to
sign additional code. If you did not use the timestamping option during the
signing, you must re-sign your code and re-send it out to your customers"

So is the http that I use on my regular signing (right after the /t command)
the same http that I would put into the setupbuilder field?

Yes! For example:

http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode

-or-

http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll
