"Verifying the signature verifies the hash of the file. It allows you to
change the exact file as long as the signature is still valid. The behavior
you see is by design."

Checking the hash on an unsigned file means it has to be exactly the same
file when "burned". Not so for a signed file. This seems inconsistent to me.
However, this design is fine with me. I've changed my usage to include the
version number in the file name. Others seem to do this now anyway and I
guess I just have to "get with the times", so to speak.

Does it make sure the name of signer is the same?

"I don't understand your comment about failing the local check it should use
the download URL. That is what the wixstdba.dll does today."

I can't seem to get it to run in debug and couldn't tell for sure how the
code worked. That is why these followup questions. You have confirmed how it
works. Thanks.

I'm pleasantly pleased with Burn yet am struggling to discover its many
powerful features.
