Signing an applet packaged as a .cab on Windows XP

[usenet]

Hi. I have an applet which I need to make a .cab version of, and sign
this. This only works on a machine which has the Microsoft JVM
installed, because: signcode -j javasign.dll ... requires DLLs from the
MS JVM.

Anyone know if I can work around this dependency? I would like to not
have to install the MS JVM on Windows XP machines doing the signing.

If you install the Microsoft JVM you can displace it in browsers with the
Sun JVM.

this scheme is over 10 years out of date. Further MS no longer
supports it. I don't know if you can even buy code signing certs for
it anymore.

Some Thawte certificates support Microsoft's CAB signing.
