Signing applications for use with Win7?!

Post by morbug » Thu Mar 07, 2013 12:26 pm

Hi,

I'm something of a inhouse developer (a glorified hobbyist really) that have made a few applications with LiveCode that is used throughout the company. Right now we're starting the migration from WinXP to Win7 and as far as I've understood no .exe-files can run on the new platform unless it's signed with a certificate. It is possible to get a certification file (whatever that is) from the IT-department in some cases (including mine .. I hope).

I know that you can sign .net-applications in Visual Studio but I can't find the option in LiveCode. It might just be because I'm in a bit of a panic since all my applications will stop working in a month or so.

So, my question is: Is there a way to sign applications with a certificate in LiveCode and how do I do it? Or do I have to scrap everything I've made and do it in .Net instead?

Thanks,

Fredrik

Hi Fredrick,

go here: http://codesigning.ksoftware.net
And load the free and easy to use "ksign.exe"

Install and open the exe, point it to your certificate,
then to your "standalone.exe" and click "Sign", that's it!

I also use it, couldn't be easier :D


Best

Klaus
