Re: Code Signing PB Applications

PowerGen has an option that lets you sign an executable with a digital signature.  Prior to PBV10.0, this was required, since the signing tools (like signtool), by themselves, would corrupt the executables.  They would be signed but wouldn't run.

From PBV10.0 on, the format of the PB executables has changed so that the signing tools can produce the required result on their own.

So if you're signing PBV9 or earlier executables, use PowerGen (or PBCodeSign).  If PBV10.0 or later use the signing tools alone.

(I don't know exactly what Sybase did to affect this change; maybe something related to Unicode?)
