SignTool Error: File not found - pfx

Question

I am using signtool.exe to sign binaries with the PFX file.

But when I try to execute the command through command line, an error message is displayed.

SignTool Error: File not found: D:\\Myfile.Pfx But the file D:\\Myfile.Pfx exists at that location.

I tried signing files using the latest version of SignTool.exe , but the problem persists.
I am using Windows XP SP3 32 bit.

Any idea on the reason for this error and how do I rectify it?

Answer 1

try giving a echo statement before the actual signing which not only gives you a chance to review the command being used but also giving signtool enough time (delay) which sometimes fixes this issue. It may not be a wrong command or file not existing but could be a timing issue as well with a vague error code returned.
