Description

Details for the issue

What did you do?

Installed the latest official version (3.12) from the 64-bit MSI installer

What did you expect to see?

Executable files in the install directory to be digitally signed

What did you see instead?

Executable files are not digitally signed

Useful extra information

The 64-bit ZIP version contains digitally signed executables, so it appears the wrong files where used when the MSI installer was built.

Files were downloaded from here:

Research direction

Start by comparing the 64-bit MSI installer with the 64-bit ZIP version referenced in the issue and inspect how each artifact is assembled. Trace the MSI build inputs and signing step; done means the executables installed from the 64-bit MSI are digitally signed like those in the ZIP release.
