Can someone please explain to me how can I sign a CAB file? I'm trying to install the CAB file with the wceload.exe tool but it works only with signed CAB.

There's an MSDN section specifically for CAB signing. The exact process depends on the certificate authority you want for it - meaning you can send it to someone like Verisign and get it signed, or you can self sign it and distribute your own certificate with it.

  • The link you sent is for Windows Mobile device. I need for win compact 7. It is the same process? I'm getting the message box: "unsupported system version - The program is not compatible with the current operating system and, therefore, may not run on this device. Do you want to continue installation?" May be you know what can I do in order not to get this message box? – janneob Jan 30 '12 at 15:40
  • Yes, the signing process is still the same. What app are you running (and where) that you're getting that error? – ctacke Jan 30 '12 at 16:12
  • I'm installing the CAB file on my device (Win compact 7). I'm getting the error when I'm double click on the CAB file – janneob Jan 31 '12 at 07:46

    The Max OS version in your INF file (used to generate the CAB) is probably set to something like 6.99. Take a look there. – ctacke Jan 31 '12 at 14:10
  • @janneob could you please tell me which value did you use in "Max OS Version"? Or can someone write a link of the list of the Version numbers to be used? Thanks! – Vic Mar 07 '16 at 12:16
  • @Vic: Just change it to 7.0 or 8.0 – ctacke Mar 07 '16 at 16:15
  • @ctacke thanks! That did work. But is there a list of the values? I found one in MSDN, but it does not include the last new OS.. – Vic Mar 08 '16 at 13:33
