Create a signed CAB file for the MFC and ATL controls

[text]

This thing has a detailed process (E text) in MSDN, and this article on the sky is MSDN translation (

http://www.yesky.com/20011220/210737.shtml), but I didn't succeed in the steps above, but also said that the digital signature is required (this is not my life), then look for Ah, find it, I finally let me find a simple way.

Below is the step of creating a CAB file:

1 Get a software publisher certificate (you only need this application to be permanently used)

2 Create a CAB file

3 sign your file

4 Embed a web page (optional) to get a software publisher certificate

Step 1. Digital certificate

Everyone can

Apply for a free in www.ca365.com, you can use it for a month, how to do it, you can view the instructions for the website.

Step 2 Create your CAB file

The most important thing in this is to make the INF file.

I didn't work in accordance with the production of MSDN, I don't know how to do it.

Taking the Active controls I develop as an example to explain the manufacturing of the INF. I did 4 files: Display.dll, Comm.dll, VideoCodec.dll, and vStar.ocx

Where vStar.ocx calls the other three DLLs to run.

Note: The following is a comment

INF file content:

Start

[Version]

Signature = $ chicago $; this part is fixed

[DestinationDIRS]

Dllsyscopy = 11

Ocxcopy = 11; Indicates that the following two copies to the folder are the system folder (Winnt / System32 in 2000)

[DefaultInstall]

CopyFiles = Dllsyscopy, Ocxcopy; Indicates that there are two part files to be copy

AddReg = VideoReoreg; content to be added in the registry, control registration

[DLLSYSCOPY]

Comm.dll = comm.dll

Display.dll = display.dll

VideoCodec.dll = videoCodec.dll

[Ocxcopy]

VStar.ocx = vStar.ocx

The following content is the control in the registry, registration has content

You can use the regvr32 command to register the control on this unit. Then get its hkey_classes_root / clsid in regedit

; Your control's registration item (vstar). Let's take the first first as an example.

The first row of the first row represents hkey_classes_root / clsid / {50B6327F-AFD1-11D2-9CB9-0000F87A369E}

There is a table entry named "default", type "reg_sz", and data is "vstar property page".

After doing your INF file, you can start package, put the control program and INF file in a directory in a directory, use WinCab to put the package, WinCAB is relatively simple.

Step three. Sign your files

This step is to tell the person who uses your control. "This is the control I release. You can believe me, if you have, you can find me"

In this step you can use the "ChinaATCP Personal Control Digital Signature System", which has a very detailed way to use, not introduced here. It can also make digital signatures, but its digital signature is not so detailed.

Step 4. Embed a Signed CAB file into a web page (optional) to get a software publisher certificate

To automatically download the control on the HTML page, you need to use the
