Re: Compilation Error on code signing. Rich, happens from time to time and in mostly it is caused by a (buggy) virus-definition update -or- the timestamp server itself (overload). What I always do in this case is to switch to another timestamp server. Unfortunately, signcode only returns three values: 0 = success and 1 or 2 = failure. In the next SetupBuilder 2023 build we have added a function to retrieve the human readable error text from system memory and display it in the compiler window. Friedrich

Re: Compilation Error on code signing. The signtool would only sign one or two files at most last Friday when I tried to build with http://timestamp.comodoca.com. I kept doing the build until finally everything got signed. I will try the timestamp.digicert.com server next time.
Re: Compilation Error on code signing. It's very well possible that the timestamp server was/is down or the protection server blocked access to it. SignCode Error 2 is caused by an incorrect password, expired certificate or inaccessible timestamp server. Friedrich

I've been using the SetupBuilder 10 drop-down option http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode and (having seen a recommendation to use comcoda in a previous thread) I'd tried the alternative http://timestamp.comodoca.com/rfc3161 but without success. However I now find that switching to http://timestamp.digicert.com works! Wish I knew what was causing the problem! Dave
Compilation Error on code signing. All of a sudden I'm getting Error 2 on the code-signing step in SetupBuilder 10. I renewed the code-signing certificate some months ago, and it has been working fine since then, but now, suddenly, it doesn't. I have the path to signtool.exe set, and for the time stamp I'm using http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode What does 'Error 2' mean? David Webber
