can't verify the digital signature


Recommended Posts

During installation of the .web.exe installer from getpaint.net, I see the same error - can't verify the digital signature.  To those who "don't see why this matters" or think "that's the way it's supposed to work", please don't bother replying, but it does matter and that's not the way it's supposed to work.

Also the #1 reason for signatures not verifying is that your system date/time is wrong. I’d check that first.

 

The #2 reason is that you haven’t been installing Windows Updates. They do send down updates to certificate stuff from time to time, and Paint.NET is now using a newer certificate authority (it’s one of Microsoft’s, via Azure Code Signing). So make sure you’re caught up with all system updates.

My comment was in response to another comment

Then why didn't you include that context? There was no way to know that you were "replying" to something else on the forum if you created a new post and didn't make any reference to the thing you were "replying" to.

and what I was referring to is "literally" what toe_head2001 (Administrator) said here

Then you are misunderstanding that comment. Nobody said digital signatures don't matter. @toe_head2001 said "you modified the file, which invalidates the signature, so what you're asking for isn't even possible and you shouldn't pursue a solution to it." That's just a dry statement of facts, not any sort of judgement.

 

As far as we know that isn't even remotely the same situation you're in (modifying the MSI for whatever reason).

 

Next time you post please include context so we can hopefully understand what you're asking.
