Title
Signing Installer Takes a Very Long Time and Time Stamp is Missing from Signed Installer

Summary

Long delays in the signing process and missing time stamps is a sign of a connection issue

Synopsis

When you build an installer and have specified it to be signed it will take a very long time to sign the package. Once the build is complete you might also notice that the time stamp information is missing from the signature on the package.

Discussion

When you see this long of a delay, and the time stamp is missing from the signed package, this is an indicator that there is a communication problem between the signing process and the time stamp server. This could be caused by an unstable internet connection, or if the communication is being blocked by a proxy, firewall, or other security measures in your environment.

Workaround

You will want to work with your IT department to ensure that no communication is being blocked during the signing process, and if it is work with them to resolve the problem.
