See attached.
I was using signcode without problems so far, but lately I have the
compilation fail when it try to sign the uninstaller. It succeeds however in
sign an exe in the install. How is this possible?
Using SB 6.9 #2415. By the way, it worked before... any chance of a bug in
latest version?

No, there is not a bug in the latest SetupBuilder version.

If one code-signing process succeeds (#code-sign application) then you have
that one filled correctly. Check the code-sign information in your "Digital
Signature".

Hope this helps.

Yes!!! As always. Thank you! I had wrong the timestamp string in the
project settings. Couldn't spot it before.
I wish Microsoft retuns more helpful error messages in signtool <g>.

Yes, I found it by trial and error. I played with it and "2" is returned if
the timestamp server is not accessible (server down, URL incorrect,
connection blocked, etc.). It returns "1" if the certificate password is
incorrect.

If the path to the certificate is incorrect, the compiler will report an
additional "File not found" error.

By the way, make sure that the timestamp server is accessible. SignTool.exe
returns "2" if the timestamp server cannot be accessed.

HTH,
