Windows sdk cabarc

But I have two questions:. Previously, when using the cabarc utility, I included an option to reserve an additional 6K of space for the signature. Is this necessary using the built-in functionality for cab file creation in VS ?

If so, how do I tell it to reserve space in the cab file? Forum entries suggest there is a check box in the CAB project properties that when clicked provides capability to add certificate file information. I can find no such checkbox. So how do I sign a cab file in VS ? Tim - I'm still looking into this particularly the wizard aspect. Currently, instead of cabarc. At a command line, you can just type makecab. For example try:. This will find a variety of certs on your machine and will tell you which "meet the criteria".

You can then use reissue the command to signtool. So I think the result is that you no longer need to explicitly reserve some space for the cert.

The tools must have been updated to not require that at this point. This may help a bit? Post as a guest Name. Email Required, but never shown. The Overflow Blog. Podcast Making Agile work for data science.

Some of them may not be executables at all. It depends on what you did. I think you just go ahead and try and see how it works. Marked as answer by jack Friday, July 4, AM. Allright, well perhaps you could give me a little more direction than the man page. I can create a cab file Thanks Dos. Got it to work with Win8 now with this revised code.. The "clue" is misleading, its not present in Windows 8. You can fin it in the latest IEAK Ive been looking for the latest version for some time inlcuding on Win Only problem being that this piece of info was kindly provided by ricktendo I also stated that it was a clue, not the answer!
