Code signing

Post by mj »

Hi,

I'm using codesign to sign the installers that I'm making, and I figured it might be nice to sign the EXE files too. Of course I then find that madExcept (I presume) says that the file has been changed and may have a virus. I imagine that if I sign it and then apply madExcept that the signature will then fail.

Is there a good solution to this?

Thanks,

Matthew

Hmmmm... When does Codesign do its work? I think it's just a question of order. If madExcept does its work first and then Codesign afterwards, then there should be no problem.

I was explaining the problem to a colleague after I posted, and then of course I realised that it isn't madExcept that is doing the EXE integrity check. Sometimes it is so easy to overlook other things! I have an EXE compressor in the FinalBuilder chain, and that is the one that is doing the check, so this is nothing to do with madExcept. Sorry!
