Code Signing Process

          

The following instructions provide guidance to install the Microsoft SDK and running the syntax to successfully apply a signing certificate to customized .msi packages.

In this example I am code signing a custom .msi package I created for distribution of the Identity Finder client to my University.

  1. After executing the installation navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin "Note* it may not appear that the installation was successful".
    1. If it is successful, this is where the installation should install by default.
      1. Will use the signtool.exe program to code sign the software package.
  2. Copy all the required elements to your preferred location, in this case I use my desktop to make running the commands easier. 

  3. Open command prompt.
    1. Start by navigating to the location of the signtool.exe
      1. cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin
      2. now execute the following:
        1. signtool.exe sign /v /f C:\IdentityFinderWinPrd\LS_SEC_CSign.pfx /p Certificate_Password /t http://timestamp.comodoca.com /v C:\IU_Identity_Finder_8.1.msi
  4. Command Prompt Output:

  5. That's it!
