Hello Nathan,

We already sign the generated Oxygen executable launchers that are included in the kit (oxygen15.2.exe, diffFiles.exe, diffDirs.exe, etc).
We could (as in 'we are allowed to') sign the libraries and executables that we have compiled ourselves. The Hunspell libraries (hunspell-win-x86-32.dll, hunspell-win-x86-64.dll), the 'dotNetValidator.exe' and 'msValidator.exe' fall in this category. Hunspell is open source and we have compiled it ourselves from the available sources.

However, there are quite a few unsigned third party Windows libraries and executables included in the Oxygen kit:
libxml2.dll, libexslt.dll, libxslt.dll, msxsl.exe, nxslt.exe, nxslt2.exe and so on...
Some of these have license terms that do not allow us to alter the files in any way, so signing them is out of the question.
Generally speaking, even without these terms, signing other people's software is questionable at best.

So, in conclusion, I'm afraid that we cannot have every executable and library from the installation package signed.
I'm guessing you need these signed for some security validation tool.

Regards,
Adrian

Hi,
It would be great if all the executables in Oxygen (especially in the All platform and Windows versions) were signed for security purposes.

We are having a bit of an issue whitelisting the various executables individually because we are unable to find any signage on some of the executables - like "huntspell.dll", "dotNetValidator.exe" etc.

Regards,

Nathan
