1. You don't need to sign MSI if you sign Bundle.

2. You are more than welcome to help out.

Subject: Re: [wix-users] Signing a bundle

(answering my own mail) I think I've worked it out:

 

1.       Added <PropertyGroup><SignOutput>true</SignOutput></PropertyGroup>
to my msi installer .wixproj file

2.       I added the <Target Name="SignMsi">. as described in the link to my
msi installer .wixproj file

3.       Use the /f option in signtool.exe to pass in the path to my pfx
file and /p for the password, and /t for the timestamp url

4.       Added <PropertyGroup><SignOutput>true</SignOutput></PropertyGroup>
to my bundle .wixproj file

5.       Added <Target Name="SignBundleEngine"> and <Target
Name="SignBundle"> to my bundle .wixproj file as described in the link

6.       Again, passing in the same arguments to signtool.exe

 

Let me know if I've missed anything.

 

It would be really helpful if the link mentioned the SignOutput property. It would also be really nice if a future version of Wix integrated this into the visual studio properties (took me a while to realise I had to edit the wixproj my hand).
