I saw you're using one to sign your GIMP installer. May I ask how you
signed it? Via the signcode GUI or via its command line?

I'm asking because if I do it via the command line using a .spc and .pvk
file created as instructed on
http://www.matthew-jones.com/articles/codesigning.html, the signed .exe
is accepted by my XP but not on Jordan's XP. Signed via the GUI and the
certificate taken from the registry, it works on both our systems.

Thanks for any light you might be able to shed on this :)

Greetings,
Martijn Laan

Via the signcode GUI. I'm planning to use the command-line at some point,
but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Interesting, what does the Digital signature tab in the Properties say?

Ok, thanks.

In the meantime I've managed to get it working on Jordan's system via
the command line too. I missed the "(be sure to check "Include all
certificates in the certification path if possible")" part on Matthew's
page. And yes, that makes me feel stupid :)

It all looked fine.
