Here I am, trying to automate builds and transition from a test-generated .pfx certificate to a full-blown bona fide Verisign certificate.<br /><br />Background: This Verisign certificate has been laying around the office, and the last employee who used it quit 2 months ago. There is a password written on the CD with .spc and .pvk files. My mission is to generate a .pfx file and sign our InstallShield installer, as well as ClickOnce manifests. So far, here are my resources: <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zfz60ccf(VS.80).aspx" target="_blank">MSDN Signing Click Once Manifests</a>, better yet, <a href="http://geekswithblogs.net/kobush/archive/2005/05/30/41068.aspx" target="_blank">Creating Publisher Certificates For Click Once</a> from Geeks with Blogs.<br /><br />Brian Noyes has a great article on <a href="http://briannoyes.net/PermaLink.aspx?guid=bd37cddc-3574-49fc-b226-a7df516ecb43" target="_blank">Using Mage</a> to accomplish this task. While that does achieve the desired results, it fails to provide the automation that I need.<br /><br />That is where the command line form of the mage tool saves the day.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.softinsight.com/bnoyes/CommentView.aspx?guid=929f2d31-dd64-4ad4-b8ae-ec9960dce028" target="_blank">Back to Brian's blog</a> for the answer.<br /><br />Once something can be boiled down to it's command line counterparts, it can then be automated.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8804940600909980774-511853240219039730?l=automatednirvana.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Roryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04573439559921496202noreply@blogger.com0
