Solution for signing Windows .exe,.dll and so on under Mac OS X

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi, 
i am not sure, if you all alread knew about it. But for me it was totally new.


Today i was able to successfully signing a Windows .exe file under Mac OS X.

See the steps below.

If the URLs are not readable, go here to download a short pdf containing the instructions.

https://dl.qck.nu//?dl=Singing_Windows_files_on_MacOSX.pdf <https://dl.qck.nu//?dl=Singing_Windows_files_on_MacOSX.pdf>

Why are url in this list email always shown twice? Is there a trick to avoid that?

Any way.

Regards,

Matthias
