Error Signing Code - No Explanation

Post by Cardiocom »

I set up the Authenticode options for the installer using the exact same certificate files I am using to manually sign
with. The manual process works fine, but when I use InstallAware, I get a very cryptic error simply stating that
"Code Signing Failed".

Here is a snapshot of the manual signtool file path -

I also verified my password multiple times and insured file permissions were correct. Also reviewed
the forums and FAQs regarding code signing issues.

Is there a way to further diagnose the error ?? I need this process to be automated and am unable
to get around this issue.

Thanks for any suggestions..

Dear Todd,

For what I see by your screen-shots, I suppose that it is probably caused by the miss-spelled value enterd with the timestamp URL.

It should be;
- http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll

instead of;
- http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll

After going through my entire process again, I realized that InstallAware was running in a different OS. It appears
to boil down to a Windows Server 2003 failing and Windows 7 working. Not an InstallAware issue.

Thank you for your suggestions and assistance.
