I think you need to use the /p switch to pass signtool.exe a password when using the /f switch. Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8s9b9yaz%28VS.80%29.aspx for more info.

Here is my script: // os.chdir('./Install/activex/cab') subprocess.call(["signtool", "sign", "/v", "/f", "webph.pfx", "/t", "http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll", "WebPh.exe" ]) // But I am getting this error: //// SignTool Error: The specified PFX password is not correct. Number of files successfully Signed: 0 Number of warnings: 0 Number of errors: 1 Finished building plugin installer scons: done building targets. //// This python script is called as part of a scons build, which is also python code. Anyone seen this before or can pass on any ideas. Tks, EM -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
