Code signing and download sites...

[NewsArchive]

If I use a download site, the certificate fails.

Is there a way to change this or do I need to get a certificate for each
site?

If you have a Comodo or Verisign code signing certificate, it works on *all*
Windows machines (Internet Explorer).

I don't think it has anything to do with "download sites"

I have a Comodo Certificate......

Using the same file, if I upload it to the site the certificate is related
to and download it, it runs fine.
If I upload to another site and then download it, windows puts the unknown
block on it....

Actually it appears to not matter where I download it from... It doesn't
reflect having the certificate.....

SB compiles it fine.....

If SB compiles fine then the Microsoft code signing tool successfully
code signed your setup.exe.

BTW, you can always manually code sign your setup.exe!

To check that setup has been correctly signed, simply right-click on
the setup.exe executable and select the Properties option, and then
select the Digital Signatures tab on the resulting dialog box.

What do you see?

Paul,

AFAIK - the only way the certificate would fail would be if the download
site was re-wrapping your software inside another wrapper of their own.
This would alter the digital signature of your software. In such a case -
THEY would need their own certificate and THEY become the publisher - not
you.

These are my own sites. Nothing is being done to the setup EXE.....

I take my setup file (which if run locally runs without warning) and upload
it.
I immediately download it. When I try to run it I get the unknown
warning.....

So, either I'm not doing the certificate correctly, or........

How do I check the certificate on the setup I create?

I figured out it wasn't signing correctly.....
