Codesigning fails if armadillo protected

[NewsArchive]

I've protected some files using armadillo and I also have them set to be
codesigned but SB7 wont codesign the files if they have been protected.

It fails with a Gen1053 and -1 errors.

Can I code sign armadillo protected files?

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Richard

Make sure that all configuration settings are correct (e.g. you do not use
an expired code-sign certificate, the password is correct, etc.). And make
sure that the timestamp server is accessible.

Jane and Charles are the Armadillo experts, but as I understand it,
Microsoft Authenticode can code-sign Armadillo protected applications
without any problem.

The sequence is important, but it works fine.

We use this in all our apps:

( all tasks done within SetupBuilder )


1) Embed your Windows 7 manifest

2) Bind to one processor with ImageCfg.exe (if your doing that)

3) Apply Armadillo protection

4) Code Sign


Does that help?

Hi Charles

Re order of operation, thats what I've been doing.

I've just protected the files this time on the VM machine where the
development is taking place, then copied these files over to the VM running
SB7 and its worked but when I armadillo-ed the files in the SB7 shipping
files folder it didnt like it. Weird! <g>

Anyway going again.

Thanks

Richard

Richard,

Be sure you understand the implications of the "permanent" check boxes in SB
for manifest and code-signing. (The main documentation discusses them, as
does the "Learning SB" document that installs with the examples.)

As just a WAG, perhaps your app had already been manifested or signed on a
prior SB compile and then doing it again made Armadillo choke.

Another possibility is that Richard is doing something with the PreArm
files. That can mess things up.

BTW Richard if your using wildcards in SB7 to include files to add to the
installer (within a certain folder) be sure to go into the wildcard and add
an exclusion for *.PreArm.

That is a unprotected version of your file and I'm guessing you don't want
to distribute that<g>.

Ok - good.

The ARM project file holds specific paths to the files to be protected, so
quite possibly it did not like the path to the VM files or you had not
added them there.
