Hi Sergio,

It has to be SetupBuilder and Comodo (there's a Clarion discount)

http://www.lindersoft.com/

and there's a softvelocity.clarion.addons.setupbuilder full of code
signing help and advice if you get (and you will :-) ) stuck.

Thus far, my development work has been as a member of the client's team; I
needed to sign code to satisfy Windows 7 Pro etc., but have not needed to use
an installer.

I have been using DigiCert for a few years; they provide a neat little utility
to sign the exes/dlls which makes the process painless for me.

Buon giorno Sergio,
I use Signtool.exe, it's a free MS thingy. In Clarion I call on Build
events - post build event command line - on successfull build a .cmd file
with all the needed parameters. Except your Certificate you need nothing
else. Works well since years here.
Ciao, Thomas

You really do not want to do this without SetupBuilder - if you have not
got it then do so immediately. It will save you many grey hairs and you
will probably live longer.

Setupbuilder/Comodo is a must have here.

I use SB, but it's really nothing complicated. You use Signtool.exe
from MS which comes with their SDKs (free) It's a command line tool so
you can all it from anywhere:

Signtool.exe command line:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa387764(v=vs.85).aspx

Signtool.exe command line examples for code signing:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa388170(v=vs.85).aspx

You could call it from the post build event in the Clarion IDE to sign
your apps.

Best regards,
