Guide for How to Sign Code with Microsoft Authenticode<\/h2>\n

A Code Signing Certificate can be used to digitally sign code or content developed by Windows Programs. After you received the trusted certificate and saved the PFX (.p12) file, follow the instructions below to guide you through the signing process on a Windows Vista machine running version Windows SDK 6.0 or lower. If you’re running version Windows SDK 7.0 or higher, reference our Microsoft SignTool Installation Instructions.<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Run the SDK command prompt<\/h3>\n

To open the Microsoft Digital Signing Wizard<\/strong>, run the SDK command prompt. This requires you to already have .NET Framework SDK installed.<\/p>\n

2. Type\u00a0signtool.exe signwizard<\/h3>\n

In the command prompt, type signtool.exe signwizard<\/strong> and click Enter<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Click Next<\/h3>\n

Click Next <\/strong>in the Digital Signature Wizard window<\/p>\n
