Is it possible to sign uninstll.exe
Hi,

I have a setup application that is written using NSIS, after the installation is succesful we are signing the installer but the unstaller.exe that is built in the same script is not signed.

Is there any way that the unisntall.exe can be signed.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

what I would do, if I had to sign the uninstaller. First install the application, retrieve and sign the uninstaller, and then include it with the other files of your setup project, rebuild the installer with the "Writeuninstaller" instruction removed from your new script. It's all theoretical, tell me if that worked for you. :D

Why do you need to sign the uninstaller at all?

Thank you guys for th reply, i will give it a shot but the build system is complex and may not be feasible.

We have s virtual system where we want to allow the uninstallers that are signed.

Thanks

Why not simply create another installer to function as your uninstaller? Sign that and include it in your main installer.
