Hi Phuong,

You need to use SignTool.exe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8s9b9yaz.aspx).

Hi Andrei,

Can you help to answer my two questions

1. Do I also need to sign adxloader.dll only or I have to sign my .dll file also? For example my .dll file is call IEAddon.dll
2. Do I have to re-sign the file each time I re-compile the project?

Thank for your helps,
Phuong

Hello Phuong,

1. adxloader.dll only.
2. You can check if the signed version is replaced when you build the project. If this occurs, you can store the signed version in a separate location and replace the unsigned version with the signed one as required. But note that you will have to use a new loader version when you install a new Add-in Express build. This means you will have to sign every loader version that you use.
