OK, thanks.

I downloaded the Windows SDK installer and when I ran it I got to a selection
page where I could select to ONLY install the signing tool.

The InnoSetup6 install builder does have support for signing so I will go there
for further research.

Well, do you have a certificate?

This is the command I use
   signtool.exe  sign /tr http://timestamp.digicert.com /td sha256 /fd sha256 /a     C:\path\to\target.exe The params are explained on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/signtool-exe

The /tr .... /td...  is optional, but recommended. And there is a list of time servers that can be used

If you have more than one certificate (added to the windows certificate store), then you may need to add something to select the one you want....


Usually, if you buy a cert, you get a piece of hardware  (e.g. usb dongle) and instructions which extra software to use to add the cert from that hardware to the cert store. (and it will only work while the dongle is plugged in).

If you want to use a self issued cert, you need to find a tutorial on that => but windows will not trust self signed certs... (Well the user may or may not be able to add your cert to their trusted cert list, but I have no idea ...)

It's maybe an idea to add a small wizard for this to the IDE, for beginners this would be easier.
