I cannot sign most NWD addons. I don't get the problems. Many other pbos work fine. Any ideas guys? Does it work for you?

Its not the file size. Any other requirements the PBO has to meet? DSSignFile didn't show an error message or so.

The only pre-requisite I have found is that the pbo's header is well formed. I'd say that the one's you are having trouble with were created with a previous community tool. And, when created the author probably forgot to place a $PBOPREFIX$ file in the folder with the appropriate text inside.
So, either re-pbo the extracted version with a community tool and include an appropriate $PBOPREFIX$ file OR re-pbo with BIS's BinPBO tool... -- [[User:Sy|Sy]] 02:28, 14 January 2008 (CET)

How do we go about applying for a 'Private Key' file for when the DSSignFile utility is released? I have written to Paul Stratham (he's Placebo is he not? - 'and has left the building') as per the Contacts page. --Sy 06:15, 12 June 2007 (CEST)

You will just generate a new private key. It'll start out as being untrusted until people add your public key to their key directories. --Salisan 13:20, 12 June 2007 (CEST)

Ah, yes well now that I think about it that is entirely logical, lol. --Sy 16:16, 12 June 2007 (CEST)
