And now I am getting a request for "signing" the applications (and/or possibly
the installers made by InnoSetup) and I have no idea on how to do this.
Signing an FPC application can be done completely independent of
FPC/Lazarus applying singntool (from Windows SDK) to compiled binary.
InnoSetup has support for singing, it also can sign uninstaller executable.
Apparently some customers cannot install the software because of IT department
policies prohibiting running unsigned programs...
In addition they have to trust your certificate used for signing.
Technically you can sign using an selfsigned certificate. But
"IT-Department" has to add that to trustlist.
Presumably you have to by an codesign certificate
What to do about this? Most involved products are for Windows and they are 32
bit.
There is no difference in signing 32 or 64 Bit.
The process should be possible to be applied to already existing exe files
because the builds can no longer be performed since the original dev
environments no longer exist.
You should exclude FreePascal / Delphi from your search - just look for
signing win32 application.
