Enhancement: Can a signed assembly be packed in the final executable without the key? #142

Closed Palollo closed 9 years ago

I use a third party signed library and I have the author permission to embed it in my executable. But, as usually, I don't have the key file (.snk/.pfx). Can I do this with ConfuserEx packer? It seems that, by now, the answer is no, a warning appears during the process: " [WARN] [utilities.dll] SN Key is not provided for a signed module, the output may not be working. " But it could be a common operation. So, ¿it could be done?

Sorry but it is not supported by ConfuserEx at the moment. I may implement this feature soon.

It would be very useful. Thanks for your answer.

Palollo commented 9 years ago

The warning is still appearing.

yck1509 commented 9 years ago

Did you add the 3rd party library as an external module?

<module path="lib.dll" external="true">

OK, thank you. P.D.: I think this attribute is not in docs.
