ESRISignAddin Utility

[GregGowing]

I've created some Add-ins using VS2008 for ArcMap 10. I want to distribute them to users within my organization. We have a local certificate server. I could distribute them unsigned; but then, I'd have to let my users download and use unsigned add-ins. I don't want to do that, so that means I must sign my add-ins. When I read the "Digitally Signed Add-ins" area it talks about a utility called ESRISignAddIn.

I can't find it anywhere. Where should I look?

It should be in your <ESRI SDK installation directory>\Program Files\Common Files\ArcGIS\bin.
BTW, would you please show me how to sign the Add-In?  Thanks.

[SJChen]

It should be copied to <ArcGIS installation directory>\Desktop10.0\Bin.

However, when I executed the ESRISignAddIn, the error message display that the add-in file can't be found.  Would someone share your experience?

[SJChen]

There are two ways to sign the add-in:

1. double click on ESRISignAddin.exe and the ESRI Digital Signature Wizard will be displayed.
2. Command line: ESRISignAddin.exe /? to display the command line parameters.
