Thread: GEN1053: Code Signing Process Failed. Error Code: -1

    Default GEN1053: Code Signing Process Failed. Error Code: -1

    I am receiving this error when I compile my exe. The strange thing is that
    it worked just fine tonight up until approx. 8pm. I was building and
    testing my app with no problems. Then I just started getting this error. I
    tested on other apps that worked before and now getting the same error.

    There was a posting in the NG about using an older version of Pokey.exe. I
    tried it but still get the error. Anyone have any other suggestions where
    to look?

    It's possible that whatever timestamp server you're using (comodo or
    verisign) is temporarily off line. Try specifying the other one. Both URLs
    are in the SB documentation.

    Also, double-check that your certificate didn't expire at 8PM tonight

    David,

    I think Jane is right. It sounds like your certificate expired at ~8PM.

    I just experienced the same. Turned out that switching from comodo to
    verisign time stamp server corrected it - so his cert may still be valid.

    Yes, I noticed the same a few minutes ago (using the Comodo timestamp
    server). It works fine again now. Perhaps Comodo did a server update.

    Hello Friedrich

    I am having the same problem - switching to Verisign did not help
    either. I can do a command-line signing using signtool.exe just fine so
    my certificate is still valid.

    I started getting this problem about two months ago but have just
    disabled the signing process - it is not a showstopper, but I would like
    to see it working again.

    Regards

    There is *NO* problem with code-signing in SetupBuilder.

    If your certificate is still valid and all information in your project is
    correct, then please check this old (but still valid) thread:

    Hope this helps.

    And of course, .PFX is an option if you don't want to rollback your PKEY.EXE
    each time a web update is released.

    Hi Friedrich

    I did not mean that there was a problem in SetupBuilder (I have learned
    over many years to look for the beam in my own eye first!) - but I
    cannot see where I am going wrong, hence my post.

    I have also (unsuccessfully) tried the pkey.exe fix (this helped me
    before) so I am pretty well stumped.

    Never mind, I will give it another bash tomorrow and let you know.

    Regards

    Daan Marais
