Hi, You can just use signtool to sign them like an .exe. There are some issues around this though, you will probably not have access to the 3rd party certificate which means you will have to use your own and explain to your users that you resigned them should they care or notice. If any of these packages has an embedded certificate to allow them to do UAC-less patching you will need to address this by explaining that this will no longer work or you will need to embed your own certificate into the MSI.

My scenario: I built a .NET application to handle a whole bunch of MSI packages as a complete product suite (platform). Those MSI packages hold some custom properties that are used for install/update logic and visual appearance of the product tree (child/parent). It is the case now, that we will eventually get MSI packages from some of our external suppliers. My thought was now to edit those MSI packages databases to include our custom properties to make them compatible to my application. As I understand it, this would invalidate the MSI signature. Someone in my earlier discussions mentioned that resigning of MSI packages is possible though. Can you provide me with some information of how to resign MSI packages? kind regards, Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.
