JerryD Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I've written an AutoIt script to help automate upgrading Blackberry Desktop and download the latest firmware for specific devices. It's nice and tiny, and works great - not bragging, just praising AutoIt! Anyway, the compile script is on an internal FTP server, and a link to it will be on a Web page. I'd really like the instructions for its use to click the link and select RUN, except that when you do that, it comes up with this BIG UGLY SECURITY WARNING I have the MS SDK, and it looks like there is some stuff there to digitally sign VB projects, but it's unclear how - or if an AutoIt script can be digitally signed. I've already searched the forms, so if you DO have links to the topic from here and you found them through Search or Power Search, let me know what and how you searched to find it! Thanks. Jerry
Valik Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 You will destroy the script if you attempt to alter it in any way, including digital signing. So the short answer is no, you can't sign a compiled script.

jfrandol Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 OK. Thanks.Valik is right, you cannot currently directly sign an autoit created .exe and have it still work - but you can work around that by re-compressing the .exe with another .exe compression tool (such as iexpress.exe included with windows XP) - after your recompress it with that - the new .exe produced can be signed by tools in the Microsoft .Net Framework SDK (freely downloadable from MS). (I posted a .bat file that had an example - I think you should be able to find it by searching for the few posts by me..)FWIW, Perhaps this hack/work-around will be helpful in your situation...

I digitally signed my compiled script and it works - Great Stuff AutoIT team !!!

MHz Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 You can easily get a certificate from Thawte. I got one some years ago for digital signing. Email clients like Outlook and Outlook Express also support digital signing for emails.
