Code signing fails

[NewsArchive]

My code signing has suddenly stopped working.



I am using SB 6.7.2083 and the file I am trying to code sign exists. All my
settings are correct. It is telling me that the code signing has failed on
every file I try., The file is not in use elsewhere.



What I do note in this latest version is that when the SB scripting engine
runs and the code signing generator is working, it flashes up a window and
the password was always entered using a series of black dots. That now does
not happen and the password seems to be being entered as a space. That of
course would fail.



Is this a bug?



BTW I am using the same script that worked on previous versions of SB.




Many thanks



John

Hi John,

No, not a bug :) If it previously worked, "something" changed on your
system (protection software update, Windows update, etc.).

You have several options:

See this (old but still valid) message:

BTW, if the shipped pkey.exe does not work, move from SignCode to
Signtool.exe. Microsoft does not allow to redistribute this file, so please
check the following link:

And this one (see "Obtaining the Microsoft Code Signing Files")

Hope this helps!

John,

And of course, make sure the timestamp server is accessible (if you support
that feature) and that you are using a valid (not expired) certificate.

Case has been closed. The certificate expired on 1/1/2008.

Authenticode code-signing does not work if a certificate expired.

Absolutely!!!

Warning to all - Comodo does NOT send any reminders. I had "forgotten" that
I only purchased a 12 month license last year. Now I have purchased a 3 year
license and saved an awful lot by using Friedrichs service.

Thank you
