How to Check the Integrity of a Digitally Signed Installation Kit
The following are the steps to follow to when you want to verify whether a Digitally Signed Program is valid or not. This could be necessary in the following cases:
  1. After Downloading an Installation kit to make sure that the download was successful.
  2. If there have been integrity issues with other files on your system due to hardware issues, virus or malware issues or other problems that make you want to check that the Installation kit is still intact and unchanged since the time it was released by PentaWare.
Select in a Windows Explorer window the Installation kit you want to verify.

In this case we will verify PentaSuitePro_English_8_1.msi

After having performed its check you will see a screen similar to the one on the right that shows a message at the upper left that says:

The digital signature is OK.

If the file is NOT intact then you will see a message at the upper left that says:

The digital signature is NOT OK.

Should the file not pass the digital signature test, then download the installation kit again.
