When you install the cert you might want to change the signtool commands to specify its thumbprint instead of relying on signtool's auto-selection: signtool sign /sha1 cert-thumbprint or, specify the cert's Subject Name with /n. I realised my previous email used the wrong parameter for the description: I think it's actually /d. Another thing: MSBuild has a built-in task for running signtool, SignFile - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164304.aspx. But I ended up writing my own implementation which retries 10 times with pauses in-between to try and handle network problems which prevent the timestamp server being reached. -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
