I have several projects which generates several references. and in the installer project which ultimately generates a MSI file; using WIX sharp.

There are pre build events written to copy the reference from different folder to the packaging folder of the MSI. It is working fine the MSI is generating successfully.

Now I want to sign the MSI with a code signing certificate, the Issue is post build event is executing before the MSI build is started and since there is no MSI present the build is getting errors.

I am using Visual studio 2017.

The post build code I am executing 

$(ProjectDir)signtool\signtool.exe sign /tr http://timestamp.digicert.com /td sha256 /fd sha256 /sm /sha1 [hash] $(ProjectDir)\test.msi

Unfortunately you can't sign your MSI in Post-Build event if you really use WixSharp, because MSI package creates by call ManagedProject.BuildMsi() method in runtime.

So i see only one workaround here, you need to call Process.Start("signtool\signtool.exe ...")" after BuildMsi() method execution
