If the issue is that the program says it's not signed, then you can sign it, and if you're into signing then sign everything with your own certificate, which I assume is A's, including the MSI file.
" Can company B sign the content, even after *.msi is created / delivered ? " Well yes, but what with? B can certainly install or unpack the files and sign them with company B's certificate if the goal is that B is going to rebrand everything as Company B and ship it off in a Company B-signed MSI file, their own rebuilt MSI file, not yours. Certainly you probably don't want Company A's certificate out in the wild being used by other companies. However I think your scenario is incomplete - you can't both be signing the same files? The signing being referred to here is certificate signing, not be confused with strong naming of assemblies going into the GAC.
