Go Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Authenticode Sign a VBScript File (.vbs)

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign a VBScript file (.vbs). Signing VBScript files requires Chilkat v11.7.0 or later. The signature is appended to the file as a comment block. Go

    success := false

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Signing a VBScript file (.vbs) requires Chilkat v11.7.0 or later.

    //  Load the code signing certificate.  It must have access to its private key.

        cert.DisposeCert()
        return

    //  Sign with SHA256, and ask a timestamp authority for a timestamp.  A timestamp lets the
    //  signature continue to validate after the code signing certificate has expired.
