An easy one for your to-do basket:&nbsp; An action for running signtool to do authenticode signing.&nbsp; I know many installer toolkits and actions have built-in signtool support, but I sometimes need to sign things outside the context of building an installer.

The Authenticode action does what you want. Signtool is also already on our todo list because of a filesize limitation (2G) in the capicom api we use for the Authenticode action.

Thanks - I’ll check out the Authenticode action (which I’d apparently overlooked) and let you know if it does everything I need.

I want to add my voice here.   
  
 If you want to use page hashing (the signtool.exe /ph command line parameter, necessary for Vista & above driver signing for example), the current Authenticode action cannot do this.

The Signtool Sign Files action now includes the option to generate page hashes (/ph) for executables in the latest build.   
  
 You can download the latest build from here:

Wow, that’s some great service!   
  
 So far I’ve been using the Embarcadero Edition, and recently a trial to try out a bit more (added VisualStudie actions for example).   
 This fast reply persuaded me to go and buy right away
