+ A different setup will start automatically and will detect Visual Studio Professional 2019 as possible target for the extension. <br>

+ <a href="#ImportCertificates">Import the Certificates</a>

+ Since you did not use the official VeraCrypt signing certificate to sign your code, but a public development version, you have to import and therefore trust the certificates used.

+ Note: If prompted, the password for .pfx certificates is <b>idrix</b>.

+ <a href="#KnownIssues">Known Issues</a>

+ On Windows 10 or higher you might get the error message above. In order to avoid this, you will need to:<br>

+ <ul>

+ <li>Double-check the installation of the root certificate that issued the test code signing certificate in the "Local Machine Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store.</li>

+ <li>Compute SHA512 fingerprint of the test code signing certificate and update the gpbSha512CodeSignCertFingerprint array in the file "src/Common/Dlgcode.c" accordingly.</li>

+ </ul>

+ Please see <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/83d5a2d6e8/#db12" target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/83d5a2d6e8/#db12</a> for further details.<br>

+ <br>

+ Another approach is to disable the signature verification in the VeraCrypt code. This should be done only for testing purposes and not for production use:

+ <b>Driver Installation Failure during VeraCrypt Setup from Custom Builds</b> <br>

+ For security reasons, Windows allows only drivers signed by Microsoft to load.<br>

+ So, when using a custom build:<br>

+ <ul>

+ <li>If you have not modified the VeraCrypt driver source code, you can use the Microsoft-signed drivers included in the VeraCrypt source code (under "src\Release\Setup Files").</li>

+ <li>If you have made modifications, <strong>you will need to boot Windows into "Test Mode"</strong>. This mode allows Windows to load drivers that aren't signed by Microsoft. However, even in "Test Mode", there are certain requirements for signatures, and failures can still occur due to reasons discussed below.</li>

+ </ul>

+ Potential Causes for Installation Failure under "Test Mode":

+ Click on "View Certificate" and then on "Install Certificate..." to import the certificate to Local Machine certificate storage. For the Root certificates, you may need to choose "Place all certificates in the following store", and select the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store.<br>
