[Mono-dev] signcode on the fly

[viraj]

hi all,
yes, i just verified it by creating a test certificate with makecert.
It signed my code without a problem. so the problem is the 'encrypted
pvk file', thank you for your hint Rafael!

even though i have the password for the .pvk file, it seems 'signcode'
binary does not accept a password on it's input (man signcode)? am i
correct?

with 'signtool' (MS Platform SDK), it accepts the password, is there a
'signtool' equivalent in Mono?

thanks again
