Windows APP Cert Kit Error
-
I am trying to sign .EXE application and also a .MSI installer, and to create a .PFX certificate file, since this program asks for it, it is Paquet Builder 2021. I tried to use Windows APP Cert Kit which is installed on my PC. I have Windows Home Edition 64-bit. The Error says "Windows APP Cert Kit 3.3 is not supported on this version of Windows.... " Are there other ways to create a PFX file? Get back thanks.

You can use the SIGNTOOL that comes with Visual Studio to sign the files. You'll have to open the Developer Command Prompt to use it. Just type "developer" into the Windows search bar to find it. If you're going to distribute the resulting signed files to public customers or is otherwise public facing, you MUST use a certificate from a trusted third-party certificate authority, like Verisign. You cannot use a self-signed cert for this, otherwise the certificate will not be trusted as it cannot be verified by a publicly trusted CA. WACK does not work on the Home edition of Windows. You would have to upgrade to the Pro edition or higher.
