Friedrich... a slightly odd thing...
I guess you're using one of the Microsoft tools to sign an installer .exe.
I've found that if I start a compile and then, say, look at these groups in
Outlook Express, and then open and read a message... I tend to hang SB5.
It took me a couple of times to realize that the "Enter Private Key
Password" window was open somewhere, waiting for a password to be entered

If I just let SB5 do its thing and am not selecting other windows on my
desktop, SB5 fills in the password and completes the compilation and signing
fine.
