RE: Error 0xC0000005 when signing Large (1.32 GB) MSI file with si

Jeffery,

I am using Vista x64 though. The reply you received seems to imply that
vista would not have this problem.

Thanks

Hi Thatcham,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, these are not managed newsgroup yet. We now only have managed MSDN
newsgroups for programming technologies, so the non-dev queues are not
managed yet. Thanks for your understanding.

Anyway, I have got some useful response from the SignTool team. They
confirmed that this may be a known issue:
" There is a known issue with the Authenticode stack where files over
~250MB will fail to be signed or verify on OS versions < Vista or Win2008.
This is due to the way files are mapped into memory. On older OS versions
a contiguous range of memory is required in the process space to map the
file. New OS's stream files in 10 MB chunks, and are not subject to this
issue. There has not yet been enough demand to back port this fix to older
OS versions.

Note: PRS can still sign large files. However, a special certificate may be
required until there infrastructure is updated broadly, and it still may
not verify on older OS versions."

Hope this helps explain things.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
