Problems with signed code

Hello,

I have a software that I sign with a trusted certificate of Verisign (both
the assemblies and the MSI packages) following the Microsoft recomendations.

In most of the cases I can install this software with no problems, but there
are a certain number of places where the software installation fails. The
symptoms are that the service I use in my application can not be launched
(the timeout is reached) so the whole installation is aborted. In such cases,
I have checked that the problem is fixed by simply removing the code
signing... :(

Anybody knows some information about this problem? I have read in some
public forum that this is a known bug of .NET regarding the CLR and the code
signing verification.

Thanks in advance,

Domingo López.
Project Manager at Visual Tools S.A.
Madrid.

Dr. Harbison subsequently acknowledged that it seems to be bug. My...

Hi I have read the various postings relating to Interop strong name signing and cannot find an example similar to mine.

Dear readers, I have some problems with strong keys. What I want to do is basically this. A - create an application (f.x. strongHello.dll) with a strong key. B - import the functions of this dll into a console application (f.x StrongConsoleApp.exe) and run it if I have somehow specified the public part of the strong key and not otherwise.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
