Investigate code signing #39

It's unclear to me how much of a problem it is that my self-extracting archives and distro executables are unsigned. It's also unclear how obnoxious it would be to set up code signing.

Any chance you share a ZIP file instead of executable as installer? This will solve the installer.

About the other executable, it would be great to have them signed.

StephanTLavavej commented 7 years ago

If you have 7-Zip installed, it can extract self-extracting archives without running them, so I see minimal value in providing a zip.

In my Win10 VM, Edge didn't complain about downloading and running my SFX.
