Windows 10: When I'm doing manifest file signing using 'mage', two hash signatures are getting created,...

Here is the command I'm using:mage -sign UNSIGNED2.manifest -CertHash <Fingerprint>When I'm running the above command, 2 hash signatures are getting created. Why?Thanks

:)

 

MageUI successfully creates a manifest but mage.exe creates an invalid file

I'm replacing a dll needed by the application with an updated version. Then I need to update the application manifest. When using the UI, the application will run. The commandline creates an invalid manifest.

Scenario: clickonce application is structured as follows: -Directory (containing full application) --clickonceApp.application --VersionDirectory (Versioned Folder) ---clickonceApp.manifest ---dlls

Replace dll file
From within VersionDirectory, Run mage.exe -update clickonceApp.manifest -FromDirectory .
From Directory, Run mage.exe -update clickonceApp.application -appmanifest .\VersionDirectory\clickonceApp.manifest
Application wont launch due to: The element 'dependentAssembly' in namespace 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2' has invalid child element 'hash' in namespace 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2'. List of possible elements expected: 'assemblyIdentity' in
namespace 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2'.
Launch MageUI (using the same mage.exe)
Open clickonceApp.manifest
On the files tab, click populate
click save and accept the unsigned warning
From Directory, Run mage.exe -update clickonceApp.application -appmanifest .\VersionDirectory\clickonceApp.manifest
The application launches successfully
Why is there a difference between mage and mageui? Open existing manifest

 

efswrt.dll page hashes of an image file are not valid

I started getting this message on Event Viewer 12/9/15 and get it every 2 to 5 days:

Code Integrity determined that the page hashes of an image file are not valid. The file could be improperly signed without page hashes or corrupt due to unauthorized modification. The invalid hashes could indicate a potential disk device error.

File Name: \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\efswrt.dll

Event ID: 6281

I ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and it said everything was OK.

I saw a suggestion to run sfc /scannow, but I am concerned about doing that on my own.

 

Files hash info

I suggest you verify whether the files really are identical. Generate different hashes- as f14tomcat suggests below..

What convinces you the hash value computed is embedded in the file?
