One way to perform code signatures is to use the SignTool command line tool. This is part of the Windows 10 Software Development Kit (SDK).
If you want to use the tool on a system without having to install Visual Studio or the Windows SDK, you can proceed as follows.
First of all, the Windows SDK can be downloaded as an ISO file. The ISO file can then be opened with Windows Explorer. The required files can then be obtained from the "Installers" folder.
The following files are required:
- Windows SDK Signing Tools-x86_en-us.msi
- 4c3ef4b2b1dc72149f979f4243d2accf.cab
- 685f3d4691f444bc382762d603a99afc.cab
- e5c4b31ff9997ac5603f4f28cd7df602.cab
- e98fa5eb5fee6ce17a7a69d585870b7c.cab
Afterwards SignTool can be installed by executing the MSI file (Windows SDK Signing Tools-x86_en-us.msi).
The SignTool is then located in the following location in the subfolder for the respective CPU architecture:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x86
