signtool fail with Inno Setup with exit code 0x1

Question

Suddenly my Inno Setup compiler stopped working. Since the last time I used it, I just installed a new certificate issued still to the same company.

I've configured the sign tool in this way (NAME is the beginning of the string for the Subject in the certificate):

mysigntool="C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv7.1ABinsigntool.exe" sign /v /a /s my /n NAME /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll

And then in the Inno Setup .iss file I have:

SignTool=mysigntool
SignedUninstaller=yes

The sign always fails with exit code 0x1, also if I remove the /t and timestamp. Please note that if I run the same command from the command prompt the signing works perfectly.

Answer 1

You need to add $f to the end of your SignTool (in the IDE settings, not the script) in order to actually pass the name of the file to be signed. This is why you're getting the "missing filename" error.

See the examples in the Inno help file.
