Inno Setup - Signing fails with "Sign tool error with exit code 0x1"

Question

I have an Inno Setup script where I need to use SignTool=signtool

that is configured correctly and has worked in the past.

But it fails when I try to compile the following error:

Sign tool crashes with code 0x1.

You have not provided us with any information that we can use to debug your problem.

So, I am posting general instructions for debugging problems with the "sign tool".

Try the command line compiler ( ISCC.exe

) . It will save the complete error message signtool.exe

in the output:

Or temporarily prefix the command with a c cmd.exe /k

to keep your output even when compiled in the Inno Setup GUI compiler. For example:.

cmd.exe /k C:\path\to\signtool.exe sign /f C:\mykey.pfx $f
