## Signing the cab file

Sign the .cab file using a trusted certificate by running the following command in a Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio:

```
Signtool sign /fdws /f {path to your certificate}.pfx /p {your password for exporting the certificate} {path to the .cab you want to sign}.cab
```


> [!NOTE]
> - Make sure that the the actual custom actions .dll file is in the root level of the targetted path when creating the .cab file and not in a subfolder.
> - The .cab file must also be signed. Unsigned .cab files and/or unsigned .dlls contained in them will not be usable in desktop flows and will result in error during inclusion.
