As an alternative to the "permanent" setting, it would be nice if we
could select a separate target folder for the affected executable(s).

All I'm doing for this SB7 project that I'm working on is signing
files. Not creating a setup app.

If I select "permanent", then it modifies my exe. If I don't select
"permanent", then I don't know where the temp files are created.

But I still want to sign my exe/dlls

That'll do for now. Thanks!

If it did wild cards, that would be pretty cool. :)

Oh good. Thanks. I'm glad I didn't start yet. :)

I know that code signing doesn't do wildcards though.

Well, code-signing DOES support wildcards ;-)

In this case, you have to enable the "Permanent" option. This will
code-sign your files.

I wonder why it didn't work for me?

#set compiler variable [FCAPPROOT] = "e:\myfolder\"
#code-sign application "[FCAPPROOT]xxx*.exe" ["My App"] [Permanent]
[Skip]

Errored on the filename. If I made the filename explicit, then it
worked fine.

Thanks

I just tested it. I have the files test1.exe, test2.exe, test3.exe,
test4.exe and test999.exe located in c:\test

#set compiler variable [FCAPPROOT] = "c:\test"
#code-sign application "[FCAPPROOT]\test*.exe" ["test"] [Permanent]

It code-signed all five files without any problem.

OK. Thanks.

It does work. I was mistaken about which thing was causing the error.

It was actually the UAC manifest one that failed, but that's not as a
big deal as the other one.

Jeff,

Probably well aware of this - but as Jane would remind us! :-D

Hi Abe -

It was the UAC manifest thing.

I mistakedley thought it was the code sign kicking the error.

Thanks.
