We are working on having our product, which uses the Toolkit, certified for Windows Vista. One of the requirements is to have all DLLs digitally signed (authenticode). Even though, we compile from the source code, the version information on the DLL bears the company name CodeJock.Does CodeJock provide a way to digitially sign the DLL for us? Anyone else dealing with this issue?

Hi,
You can build application with statically linked toolkit and don't distribute additionall dlls.
We sign our ocx files for ActiveX verrsion, but how do you want we sign dlls you build manually? ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Since each customer builds the DLL, we send the Toolkit DLL to you, you digitally sign the DLL, then you send it back. ------------- Tim H( http://www.ExclamationSoft.com - http://www.ExclamationSoft.com ) Product: Xtreme Toolkit v13.1 Platform: Vista(x64)-SP1 Language: Visual C++ 6.0 Currently: Satisfied w/ Toolkit |

Hi, How we can be sure that customer/you didn't modify sources...
It can't work this way, you have sign dll yourself or build statically.
btw, so you send toolkit sources to your customers??? ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

I guess he meant that your (Codejock) customers are building the DLLs themself. I suggest that you make signed release DLLs available for download. These DLLs should also be the only ones distributed to clients, DLLs built from modified sources should have a different name or linked statically. ------------- Codejock support |

ABuenger is correct: I mean that I build a single Release DLL myself, which is distributed to all customers. That one DLL needs to be signed.

I see.
As solution now, you can change company name in Workspace\ToolkitPro\ToolkitPro.rc , rebuild and sign it yourself. or use static build
We will think what can be done. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Okay, I think that should be okay considering your product is "like" custom code. I don't think Microsoft will scrutinize it too much. ------------- Tim H( http://www.ExclamationSoft.com - http://www.ExclamationSoft.com ) Product: Xtreme Toolkit v13.1 Platform: Vista(x64)-SP1 Language: Visual C++ 6.0 Currently: Satisfied w/ Toolkit |
