Tim,

WinVerifyTrust lives in WinTrust.dll, and this DLL is distributed
through IE in Win9x and WinNT pre-sp4 platforms. But this dll is
distributed with the system for other platforms. Of course, beside
WinTrust.dll, other DLLs from MS Crypto are also needed, and these other
DLLs are also distributed as above.

Hope this helps.

I really like the WinVerifyTrust stuff. However, just to enable
verifying the signature of the EXE of my own application I have to
install IE5.

So when I install my cheesy little 2 meg application, I have to install
20 megs worth of IE crap just to verify the EXE hasn't been tampered
with.

Is there any way around this?

I still want to use the "official" signature mechanism using signcode
and friends, and not drag around some stupid proprietary extra file, or
attaching the signature to my exe in some non-standard way.

Thanks,
