Hi
I have a setup and deploy projectdeveloped with VS 2008. This has two exe and a USB driver installer. I purchased a Microsoft Authenticode Digital IDfrom VeriSign and used it with winqual to certify the USB drivers. I now need to sign the install project so I can git ride of the unknown publisher warningand after reading though this forum I am not sure of what I need to do.

1. Do I have to sign the .exes and .dlls or just the .msi? The project has two separate exe both built with there own project.
2. Several posts in this forum talk about signing being on option in the properties and I can not find it.
3. Other posts talk of running signtool as a separate operation. If this is needed how do I sign the exes?

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi BarberColman,

1. Do I have to sign the .exes and .dlls or just the .msi? The project has two separate exe both built with their own project.
Reply: Based on my understanding, we only need to sign the generated setup package, including setup.exe and setup.msi.

2. Several posts in this forum talk about signing being on option in the properties and I can not find it.
Reply: As far as I know, only.Net applications(such as WinForm developed in C#,VB) has such an option, native applications(such as program developed with MFC, win32) has no direct support for sign.

3. Other posts talk of running signtool as a separate operation. If this is needed how do I sign the exes?
