I have never had any success signing any binary over 300MB. There is a limitation to the size of the file you can sign with SignTool.exe Microsoft has another tool called MakeCat.exe that you have to use for bigger files.

Subject: [WiX-users] Signing problems All - I have had problems trying to sign one of my installers. Smaller msi's sign without any problem but I have an 800Mb msi file that will not sign. I have tried signing it on 2 different machines One of them gives me the error SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80092002 An error occurred during encode or decode operation. The other one SignTool Error: This file format cannot be signed because it is not recognized. I have been able to build the msi with separate cab files and had no problem signing the cab files (even cabs over 1GB) but I need to deliver a single msi. I have also played around with setting the CompressionLevel on the Media and when I set it to none the msi file was 1GB and I was able to sign it from the machine that complained about the file format but not the other one. Has anyone seen this before? Your help is greatly appreciated. - TC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
