Running the samples
The samples are simple command-line drive applications written in
Visual Basic Script. To run a sample, you should use the console-based
scripting host called cscript.exe. Follow these steps to run a
sample:
Open the command prompt: select Start/Run, type cmd
and press Enter.
Use the cd command to navigate to the sample's
directory. Example:
cd "\program files\Crea\CreaSign
SDK\Samples\Simple"
Run the sample:
cscript SampleName.vbs parameters
The samples that create a signature write the signature to a file.
To override the default filename, specify a new file name as a
parameter to the script.
The samples that verify the signature take one required parameter:
the name of the file that contains the signature.
