Got a new computer, installed SB7, copied my .pfx from old computer to new
computer put in the same file location as what was on the old computer.

I can't codesign, get errors, so I must need to do something else?

Any help would be appreciated!

Make sure that you have the required components for Authenticode (the
Windows SDK).

You can't simply copy the signtool.exe over to your computer to make it
work. Especially on UAC systems you need additional components to "enable"
support for MS Authenticode code-signing.

I bet you do not have capicom available on your machine.

Brent - I have had this happen to me also. My problem was that I did
not change the file location of the signtool.exe. Tools - Options -
File locations.

Brent,

If your OS is Windows 7 - download this:

Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dlx/listdetailsview.aspx?id=8279

You can view more details by downloading the ZIP version of App Data UAC
Safe - help topic - Windows 7 signtool.exe - at this URL

Product Description - App Data UAC Safe, MFG - Encourager Software
Internet Link - http://www.encouragersoftware.com/software-developers.html

If using an older version of signtool.exe - capicom.dll must be installed
and registered (it is - during install)

BUT with latest - capicom.dll is no longer needed.

Windows 7 signtool.exe help topic - also includes screen shot of Microsoft
Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 download - you only need to
download just a part of it - as illustrated in screen shot.
