Thanks to all for your kind words.


@Tom,
> tool...where would it source the certificates? and how much?

I am sorry, i don´t understand the question. 
Do you want to know where you can buy the Software Signing Certificate for 
Windows?
The cheapest Seller i´ve found is K-Software (http://codesigning.ksoftware.net 
<http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/>).
They are selling genuine Comodo products and a Software Signing certificate 
cost about 84USD for 1 year. It´ll be even cheaper if you purchase it for 2, 3 
or 4 years..
They even provide a very easy tool for CodeSigning for free called kSign. It 
has a GUI is really very easy to use.  I am using this tool for manually 
signing my Windows apps now for about 4 years.


@All
The upcoming code signing option in InstaMaker will only code sign the 
Installer, not the programs you´ve created the installer for.
For code signing in InstaMaker Microsofts signtool.exe will be used. 

So at the moment the steps for code signing a Windows app and creating a signed 
Installer for it would be
1. Sign the Windows app and all externals using kSign.exe or Signtool.exe
Btw: the externals of a LC standalone are write protected for whatever reason. 
You´ll have to disable the write protection before code signing. Otherwise the 
externals can not signed

2. Create the Installer with InstaMaker

3. Code Sign the Installer.


When InstaMaker has  code signing support, then 

1. Sign the Windows app and all externals using kSign.exe or Signtool.exe

2. Create an Installer with InstaMaker and sign it automatically.

So you´ll have to code sign your Windows program in any case first if you want 
to have your app also be code signed, then you can use InstaMaker to create an 
Installer and also code sign that installer after creation. 

But as i wrote, i need some spare time for it. But i will come.

Regards,

Matthias
