im really confused ive never made any crtificates or signed anything before like i try the
"
MakeCert -r -n "CN=My Company Name" -pe -sv XXX.pvk -ss XXXCertStore XXX.cer
" and it says write file failed =>0x5 (5)
what do i do step for step
thanks
5 is the error for access denied, you probably need to be in an administrator command line
ok well i signed my unsigned copy of bootres.dll
but i cant sign the original bootres.dll "SignTool Error: No certificates were foundthat met all the given criteria"
whats the command that you used?
SignTool sign /ac C:\Cert\BB1.cer /s BB1CertStore /n "Microsoft Windows" /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll C:\bootres2.dll
The name (after /n) has to be the company name you used in MakeCert: "CN=My Company Name".
You could make a certificate with Microsoft Windows as the company name, but it shouldn't matter. The company name I think is for human-use only.
Sorry, but im having trouble following all this.
Could someone post a step-by-step instructions on how to do this, supposing it works?
We are still testing. IF (and thats a big IF) this works, I will post a nice detailed outline, probably including some programs / scripts that I have/will write to make it easier.
Currently we know where the animation is, we know how to edit it, we know how to put it back in a DLL, and now for the final step, convincing Windows that's it okay to play a different animation. Each of these steps is quite elaborate.
Do you have an animation ready? Or did you just want a static image? Cause I think making a new animation is going to be the hard part for me...
it will sign an unsigned file fine
and it will resign one of MY presigned files
but it WONT sign an already MS signed file
Interesting, it works for me. You're using
SignTool sign /ac C:\Cert\BB1.cer /s BB1CertStore /n "My Company Name" /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll C:\bootres2.dll ?
Run "c:\Windows\certmgr.msc" (not CertMgr.exe). On the left you should see a folder called "BB1CertStore". Open it and then open "Certificates". Your certificate should be on that list. "Issued To" and "Issued By" should both be the company name you are using. You should also see it under "Personal">"Certificates". Double clicking on the one in personal should say "You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate" near the bottom. Check the other properties, make sure they match the ones for "C:\Cert\BB1.cer".
If everything matches then I have no idea why you would be getting "SignTool Error: No certificates were found that met all the given criteria".
Please report the command you are using and the error message (or issue).
