Signing a CAB File

  • Article

To sign a CAB file, run the SignTool utility, which is included in Visual Studio.

You can sign your DLLs and OCXs directly, without using a CAB file. However, a CAB file lets you use compression, and if you use the CAB file with an INF file, you can bundle all of the required code together.
