Hello,

Excellent very explicative. For Visual Studio 12 the signtool is located here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Bin\signtool.exe"

Thanks

Very clear and helpful, I have no idea how anyone would be expected to figure it out without this level of help!

Thanks, this was very helpful. For people using command line tools, see this other helpful post, too: http://doughennig.blogspot.com/2009/11/executable-signing-with-inno-setup.html

So the signtool.exe would lie in "Program Files" for x86 machines and "Program Files (x86)" for x64 machines. So this might fail the signing

Very useful and straightforward.

Near to getting nuts when trying via Innosetup help I found your article. Saved my head ;o)!

I have tryed this in wondiws 10 cna not et it to work i installed the sdk the singtool is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64\signtool.exe inno complie fails with
Sign Tool command failed (Failed to execute Sign Tool command.

Error 5: Access is denied). Will retry (2 tries left).

@chris - that sounds like a permissions issue. A google search for "signtool.exe Error 5: Access is denied" turned up this:

There was a folder permissions problem in that particular case and signtool.exe update the file. I would start by looking at permissions on the files you are trying to modify.
