Hey Guys/Girls,
I have been cooking for a while as some of you may know but I haven't done much in the .CAB department yet. So I need some help in how to sign a .CAB file. I looked around and founds lots of info on msdn but I figure some regular english and not "tech" talk might be a little easier. So can some one tell me the steps to sign a cab file? I read I need the WM6 SDK which comes with Signtool.exe but I also read I need the Windows Server 2003 SDK so I am all confused at this point. I know its not that hard just a few "black box" commands correct? Anyway you all get the point of this post any help would be helpfull. The reason I posted in ROM development is simple the CABS are part of the rom I want to start putting all cabs in the config.txt so users can uninstall them if they like to gain some space back. I figure if I compress the .exe in the cabs it should take up less space than a non compressed .exe cooked in the rom.
