Authenticode Signature (Deployment)

The Authenticode Signature page allows you to sign your setups digitally using code signing certificates. To use code signing, you must first obtain a certificate from a certificate authority. Once you have your code signing certificate, check the Sign the package with Authenticode field, and populate the authenticode fields.

Automatically sign all .EXE, .DLL, .OCX, .SYS, .CPL, .DRV, and .SCR files being installed

This is a three-state check-box which has effect only if the main Sign the package with Authenticode check-box is checked.

When this check-box contains a check mark, all mentioned file types included in your setup through the Install Files, Install Service, Install Assembly, and Install ODBC Driver commands will be automatically code signed.

When this check-box contains a square (does not contain a check mark but is not empty either), files will be code signed only if a signature does not already exist.

When this check-box is clear (does not contain a check mark or a square), no automatic code signing occurs for files included in your setup.
