Digitally sign 'WriteUninstaller' output?

Beiley · 14th January 2009, 21:21

Does anyone know if it is possible to digitally sign the .exe created when you call "WriteUninstaller"?

I'm guessing not... It seems the uninstaller would have to be created/signed when compiling the installer, since the setup program doesn't have access to the private key when it is creating the uninstaller at run time.

All my other .exe's are digitally signed, just looking for a way to also digitally sign the uninstall program.

Thanks,
Mark
