Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
// and provide timestamp server information.

// {
//   "hashAlg": "sha256",
//   "timestampToken": {
//     "enabled": true,
//     "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
//     "requestTsaCert": true,
//     "hashAlg": "sha256"
//   }
// }

// Load a code signing certificate..
var cert = new CkCert();

// You can sign .exe or .dll files.
var exePath = "C:/someOtherDir/HelloWorld.exe";

var signer = new CkCodeSign();

// If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
success = signer.AddSignature(exePath,cert,json);
