Zig 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. Zig

    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // 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.

    // 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.
