View Full Version : Code sign problem

I have produced a setup with code signing. When compiling there are
comments about signing the uninstaller and the htm file but not the
exe file.

This setup is based on another setup that signs all three files.

Any ideas?

- Is your certificate valid (not expired)
- Is the timestamp server accessible (if you support it)

By the way, if the certificate is valid and the timestamp server is
accessible, then it's definitely caused by one of the settings in your "Code
Signature" properties.

Yes to both.

I have now got the whole three files signed but I had to add a
#code-sign application line to the script.

So, no problem other than I don't understand why
General Information > Digital Signature did not insert the line for
me.

Hmm, why should "General Information > Digital Signature" add a "#code-sign
application..." compiler directive??? This is only there to code sign your
own application files (.exe, .dll, .ocx). Never ever use it on your own
setup.exe or the uninstall application!!!! And please never try to
code-sign .htm files!

"General Information > Digital Signature" signs your installer and
uninstaller.

See attached screenshot.

"General Information > Digital Signature" automatically signs your installer
and uninstaller.
