Syntax
authenticodesigner.getRemoveExistingSignatures([callback]) authenticodesigner.setRemoveExistingSignatures( removeExistingSignatures, [callback])
Default Value
FALSE
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for the getRemoveExistingSignatures([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, data){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'data' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setRemoveExistingSignatures([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
If this property is set to True, all the existing Authenticode signatures will be removed from the executable before adding the new one. If this property is False, the new signature will be added on top of the existing ones.
