Remove URL from Signtool

BUMP: any thoughts or suggestions?

Building my web application has been throwing the following errors:

  • The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64\signtool.exe" sign /a /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll "application.exe"" exited with code 1
  • An error occurred while attempting to sign: application.exe
  • The specified timestamp server either could not be reach or

Based on this post, I added different servers with something like signtool sign /v /td sha256 /tr "http://timestamp.comodoca.com/rfc3161" /fd sha1 application.exe

but my build still references the Verisign URL even after running this signtool catdb /r http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll and signtool remove http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll

Any ideas? Do I need to create a new certificate? Thanks in advance for help!

Solution

  • So I finally found what the problem was. There was a Build Event setting this reference to Verisign. Once I found it and updated, the build was successful.

    The location of this is r-click on the project < select Properties < select the Compile tab < click button for Build Events...

    Hope this helps any others.
