You said that signing the file failed, could you provide the error message that let you know that it failed

All updates are always on the web site http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ccipowertoys

Hi,your reply is really helpful to me ,but it didn't work.

Maybe because of the bugs.

As blog says I use makezipexe to convert the zip file to exe file,and when I add the signature to the converted exe file,it failed.I don't know why.

please give me a reply.

And the blog says that he has made some updates of the tool,where can I get the updates of the tool

Thanks a lot.

I am sorry to tell you that there is still the same problem

And pls check your email,I have sended a mail with a problem-vsi-file made by the updates.

I am misunderstood why the downloaded vsi files works well but mine doesn't work.

See the blog posting at http://blogs.msdn.com/craigskibo/archive/2005/11/16/493570.aspx. This has information about how to sign a file for the Content Installer.

Are you signing this file with a valid signature We are retrieving the certificate store from the file and then trying to find the counter signer, but that information is not available to us. A null pointer is returned to us from the Win32 Crypto APIs, we flag this as an error (a possible security error) and error out.

We have signed files inside of Microsoft with the updated DLL and the files do sign properly.

Now I have install the toys.

And I did follow steps:

1.I copy the ZipExeStub.exe file to the folder named Common7\IDE

2.Use MakeZipExe to convert the zip file to the exe file

3.Use SignTool(signtool signwizard)(use the wizard) to add the signature to the exe file

4.change the exe exstension to the vsi

5.double click the vsi file but it didnot work.It just gave out a messagebox says "Attempted to read or write the memory.This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt"

It appears there is a bug in the installer for the power toys that can keep the replacement for ZipExeStub.exe being installed. I will put together a new msi to fix the problem, but in the mean time if you send me (craigs@microsoft.com) your email address I can send you an updated file that you can manually place on disk.

I have updated the power toys, and uploaded a new version that should work.
