Add support for Windows Server 2012

Open gdams opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

Thanks for making such a great tool! Unfortunately, I have a hard dependency on using server 2012 for some builds and cannot use this tool as it works on 2016 onwards. Are there any workarounds/libs I can install to make it work?

Hiya, sorry for the very long wait for a reply. Using Server 2012 is... very complicated. The issue boils down to Windows' support for SignerSignEx3 which is only present on Windows Server 2016 or higher. There is a way to make it work in Windows Server 2012, but I had big concerns about the longtime support and stability of it. Essentially we'd have to ship parts of the Windows SDK.

I'm not a "hard no" on this, let me revisit it and see how doable it is.

If it helps, this is AFAIK the minimum set of files from the Windows 10 SDK required to run SignTool on Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012: image (The en-US folder contains only AppxPackaging.dll.mui, and the two txt files are logs and aren't actually needed)
