Hi There,

Is it possible to have a relative certificate path in the add-in.sign file instead of the absolute one?
<certificatePath>C:\Source\dev\solution\ABC2024.pfx</certificatePath>

Thanks

Hello Tim,

It looks like this isn't possible: the source code doesn't do anything to expand relative paths, and at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51490379/x509certificate2-error-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified they say that new X509Certificate2(filePath, password) only supports absolute paths.
