SignTool: Sign Windows code with a code signing certificate

After you've created your PFX file, you can sign your code with Microsoft SignTool.

Our code signing certificates work with the following types of Windows-based files:

• EXE
• DLL
• OCX
• CAB

  Note: For CAB files, space should be allocated for the digital signature by adding the following entry to your DDF file before creating the cab file: Set ReservePerCabinetSize=6144.

1. Install SignTool using Microsoft's information. This involves downloading and installing Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).
2. Launch cmd.
