Hi

 

I have a digital certificate and I signed my MSI with it. When I view the
properties of the file in Explorer it shows the certificate correctly. So
far so good.

 

Then I modified the MSI file in a binary editor (changed one byte). Now when
I run the signtool I get an error that the verification failed. So far so
good.

 

But when I view the file properties I still see the certificate. I was able
to run the MSI and install it. I was expecting Explorer to detect the file
as corrupted and for the MSI to fail to install.

 

What am I missing? Is there an extra step during the WiX pipeline that I
need to do, or were my expectations wrong that a file modification will be
caught by Windows?

 

Thanks

Ivo
