How do I make AI show me the command line it uses for code-signing?

I'm having big problems with code-signing. Is there a way to force AI to log out what exact value it uses when it invokes signtool?

I realize I can explicitly specify the command line for signtool itself and I might be forced to do that. But for the time being, in trying to determine the nature of my problem, it would be very helpful if I could see exactly what AI is doing

Hello Joe,
Is there a way to force AI to log out what exact value it uses when it invokes signtool?
I'm afraid not.

However, with a little bit of work, we can do this. For this, we would have to refer to the following article:

Signtool - Win32 apps

An example of this would be, for instance, the "Use from certificate store: <Most suited certificate>" option. If we have a look over the above article, we can see that in order to achieve that, signtool.exe must be launched with the "/a" parameter.

Hope this helps!

Oh well. Consider it a feature suggestion then! Thank you for the answer
