Digital Signing Not working with External SignTool from Microsoft SDK

[Tushar]

Hi,

I am using digicert code signing certificate with Microsofts SDK signing tool.

I had downloaded MS SDK for my Windows 10 OS. The system is 64 bit but the SDK is 32 bit.

The path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64\SignTool.exe

here is the detailed message:

The digital signing of the APPDIR\iMedXExpressEditor.exe file failed. Error message: 'Error information: "Error: Store::ImportCertObject() failed." (-2146885630/0x80092002)
SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred.'

More information about the issue:

If I use digisign.exe then it is still not able to sign the files.

This has been resolved.

This was a problem with my certificate.

Thanks much.

I am putting my problem and resolution here it might be helpful for others:

I have Microsoft Authenticode digicert certificate. I installed it using FireFox and exported it as .p12 file.
running with signtool also gave me the same issue.
signtool sign /tr http://timestamp.digicert.com /td sha256 /fd sha256 /f "path to certificate file\Certificate.p12" /p xxxxxxx "path to.exe" SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred.
Error information: "Error: Store::ImportCertObject() failed." (-2146885630/0x80092002)

I used the digicert certificate utility to reexport the certificate as .pfx and that resolved the issue.

-Delete the existing certificate from the utility.
-import the .p12 file.
-export the certificate as .pfx with password.

configure .pfx file with password with Advanced installer.

Thanks much.
