Digital Signatures

If you have a publisher certificate from a certification authority or from Microsoft Certificate Server, you can sign your custom package in this step of the wizard. For more information about certificates, see Signing Your Programs.

To prepare certificates for use by the IEAK, you can import them onto your computer by using the Certificate Manager Import wizard. If you have received a file with an .spc extension, you can start the Certificate Manager Import wizard by double-clicking the .spc file in Windows Explorer or My Computer.

You can also open the Certificate Manager from Internet Explorer. To do this, click the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Content tab, and then click Certificates. Click Import to start the Certificate Manager Import wizard, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
