Ah, but it’s not cheap to get the signing certificate you need. Say $500 for the certificate, plus whatever filing fees your state requires for incorporating or whatever, plus legal fees (unless you happen to be a lawyer).
Wulll … I’ve gotten a Verisign class III code signing certificate using a
business license to show “doing business as”, which cost $15 in Oklahoma. At
that time I did not need to incorporate. However, the Verisign certificate
at last price check was ~$600. Thgawte has one that is cheaper, ~$150, I
believe.
But as has been said … not really enough information from the orginal
poster. If this is, as he intimated in one post, a total give-away, then
Signtool seems the way to go, unless he wants to distribute it to a 64b it
system, but we don’t know that since he did not say.

The one from Thawte does not have a cross certificate, making it unsuitable for kernelmode code signing. But there are suitable certificates from other companies available for that price.
