Hi,

I am on my second term with Comodo codesigning my exe's so I thought I had
it worked out.

I now notice, that although the script processes the instructions correctly
(see below) when I look at the files properties there is no tab with
"Digital signature".

Shouldn't there be ????

Yes... depending on where you're looking.

Are you looking at the files once your install program has put them onto a
client machine? (They should be signed)

Or are you looking at them in the folder on your development machine?

If the latter, look in the help file for the description of the "permanent"
check box on the #code-sign application directive.

I look both places.
I have the "permanent" ticked.

And my Comodo-signature is good for more than half a year (and I believe I
get an error if it's expired).

Switched to SB-7 and all is ok.

Don't know why....

Me again...

The error was caused by PKEY.EXE

I have for ages been unable to use the distributed PKEY.EXE but must on all
upgrades remember to restore my saved PKEY.EXE from 17. dec. 2006.

I really would love if SetupBuilder would leave this alone <g>

What was different this time was not getting error messages about failing
codesigning !

See answer in the "Found the error" thread.

You should switch your certificate to .PFX and use SignTool if PKEY.EXE does
not work on your machine!
