  2. Sign the binary files that will go into your cabinet file. For example:

    Signtool sign /f SDKSampleUnprivDeveloper.pfx *.exe *.dll

  3. Build your cabinet file with the signed binaries.

  4. Sign your cabinet file with the correct certificate. For example:

    Signtool sign /f SDKSampleUnprivDeveloper.pfx myApp.cab
