Signing executables

Recommended Posts

Hi. You have to purchase a "Code signing certificate". Just Google the term and you will find many possible suppliers.

Typically the certificate you purchase is valid for a number of years and then you have to renew it.

I am happy with a certificate from ksoftware since a couple of years now.

It seems nice, thank you. Just a question: a signed exe will be signed life-time or once the certificate expire that exe won't be signed anymore?

@Thijs van Dien In my experience the signing feature in Innosetup was fragile, mostly because if the timestamping failed (due to the server not responding, happens a lot) then you had to recompile the whole thing again. Better to do the signing and timestamping seperate from the innosetup step (using signtool), and the signing and timestamping separately so you can retry when timestamping fails.
