how to manually sign an MSI file?

Question

Is it possible to sign an MSI file manually, without the signtool.exe tool that comes with the Windows SDK?

If so, how big of a job is this?

Why don't you want to use the standard tools for this? – slugster Oct 29 '13 at 20:58 — slugster, Oct 29 '13 at 20:58

Sure: SignerSignEx in C++; wrapped in C#. Unless you really mean manually, in which case get a binary editor, lots of paper, a good calculator, and don't make mistakes! :)
