It's either a bad binary*, a badly encoded base64 file* or a bug fixed after 1.2.4 (been too long to recall what was changed since that version). * You can try to open the file and check if it looks bad or not. > I get the same error if I just run: > > signcode -spc <path to my p7b> That would be same file, so same badness apply. > I'm stuck. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Make sure you get everything working using a test certificate. Then start over and compare each steps (with the test).
