Digital signature fails in 6.5

[NewsArchive]

Hi!

I made my very first digitally signed installation yesterday in 6.0 without
any problems.
Today, I have updated to 6.5, and compiles the vey same script.
It flashes with a request for a password, that closes before I am able to
write it.
The compile ends with an error -1 for GEN 1053, Code signing process.
Am I doing something wrong...

Edvard,

If the SB6 process worked for you, then you can use the old 6.0 version of
PKEY.EXE (see attached) in 6.5. Please unzip the file into your \Lib
folder.

BTW, you'll have to do this for all future SB6x updates.

Did the trick!
:-)
Do you have any ídea of why?

COMODO certificate from your shop from yesterday.

Hi Edvard,

It's not caused by the Comodo certificate! PKEY.EXE tries to automatically
fill-in the certificate password (the Microsoft signcode.exe tool does not
support this).

The new PKEY.EXE works for most (99%) users now. On your machine something
(protection tool, etc.) seems to "block" this method.

welcome to the club :)
I was the one with that pb before but now ... <G>
two of us make 1% Friedrich ? no way the ratio must be at 99.9999999% :)

I updated this morning also and added the "old" exe and all is well of
course

Same problem here, also solved with 6.0 pkey, thanks.

Hopefully support for Signtool.exe and pfx files will solve this in a future
version.

Regards.

Hi Friedrich

FYI: Same problem here but the older pkey.exe fixed it. Thank You.

OK - I'm 3 months off the mark :( - but this still is not hitting the mark,
I'm still getting the -1 whether I use the old PKey.exe. Anything else I can
try?

Hi Geoff,

Are you sure the defined certificate information is correct (password, link
to unexpired certificate, etc.?).

If you think it is caused by PKey.exe/SignCode.exe, you can use the new
built-in support for SignTool.exe.

Please see:

IMO, one of the defined certificate information is incorrect. You can check
this by leaving the Password field blank. Then enter it during the
compilation process. If it still gives -1, then the certificate expired.
If it works, the stored password is incorrect.

Does this help?
