Hello Developers,

I have been attempting for weeks now to create a DLL that reads information from authenticode signed Executables/DLLs, but i cant seem to get anywhere, here is what im trying to do...

Create a DLL that has the following functions...

certinfo(filename, information);

this function will return the specified information from the file defined, the information i wish to return is the following...

  • Program Name (programname)
  • Publisher Link (publisherlink)
  • More Info Link (moreinfolink)
  • Issuer (issuer)
  • Serial Number (serialnumber)
  • Timestamp (timestamp)

I have tried many examples but none of them are stable enough to work from (c/c++) as they all do not compile(lots of code related problems) and are not easy to work with.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323809 - doesn't work
http://www.ucosoft.com/how-to-program-to-retrieve-the-authenticode-information.html - doesn't work

Please can someone help, i really would love to continue development with this and cant do this without a solution to this problem i have been having. Many thanks to those that do help and you will be rewarded with a license to the program once its been released.

Kind Regards,
Nathaniel Blackburn
