Signcode error

[NewsArchive]

I have an install script that has been working but now I am getting an error
message when I try to signcode my app

Compiler Error GEN1053: Code Signing process failed. Error code -1

What does this mean? Did my certificate expire? I havent had this problem
with other apps though

Several possible reasons come to mind: your certificate expired, the
timestamp server is not available (down), the timestamp server is not
accessible (e.g. your latest anti-virus/spyware definition update blocks
access to it), the password is wrong, and I am sure there is more that can
go wrong... <g> Unfortunately, the Microsoft Authenticode tool does not
return a specific error code -- it only returns "succeeded" or "failed".

Hope this helps.

In your case, it's easy. No server outage, no server blocking. I
downloaded one of your trial and your certificate expired <g>
