Hello group,

Code signing with ShellExecute() - had any problems?

I have, and finally found out HOW to do it. It's a big win for me. I have
used script, but, I like a simple life.

Not sure I understand what you're talking about.

SetupBuilder has auto code-sign capability built in.

That's the install builder that most of us use...

HTH,

Yes. But what does ShellExecute() have to do with code signing?

Hello Jeff,

I have an app that code signs in a batch mode. ShellExecute seems to have a
problem with Windows signtool.exe.
I got around it by selecting the exe's and dll's that I wanted to codesign,
and created a cmd script which then is run.

oh. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that the majority of folks in these newsgroups use
Setupbuilder to manage all that stuff. I use a Setupbuilder script
that I simply compile to do an ImageCFG, Armadillo, Manifest, and Code
Sign. It doesn't generate a setup. It just works on the files in a
"permanent" mode.

I still can't wrap my head around why Shellexecute would be something
you'd choose to employ for this task, but I'm glad you've ultimately
found something that's working for you.
