I have been attemping to code sign a dll using a code signing certiticate I have purchased from Comodo. The intention for the signing is to be verifiable via the kernel signing policy. However, in the the EventLog explaining that there are CodeIntegrity errors relating to per-page image hashes not being able to be found.
Below is a summary I what I am doing, if you could please provide advice on where I have gone wrong, or where to look next that would be greatly appreciated.
I have signed a previously signed dll for the sake of testing using the following commands, the result is the same if I used a newly built dll.
"C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\bin\amd64\SignTool.exe" sign /v /ph /ac "addtrustexternalcaroot_kmod.crt" /f css-certificate.pfx /p <password> /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll VBoxVRDP.dll
The output is as follows

I now validate the signing using the following command

So it all looks good, however, I have noted when looking at the properties of dll via Explorer, but I end up with a CodeIntegrity errors in the EventLog.
Code Integrity is unable to verify the image integrity of the file <...>\VBoxVRDP.dll because the set of per-page image hashes could not be found on the system.
When I look at the Verbose logs of CodeIntegrity I see the following Verbose events
Code Integrity started validating page hashes of <...>\VBoxVRDP.dll file.
Code Integrity completed validating page hashes. Status 0xc0000428.
From what I can tell 0xc0000428 is Windows cannot verify the digital signature of this file
, which seems to imply I am missing something somewhere, but I for the life of me cannot figure out exactly what it is I need to do.
Windows support for SHA2 on Win 7 seems to be problematic at present. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/2949927.aspx There is a fix but note "Revision V2.0 (October 17, 2014): Removed Download Center links for Microsoft security update 2949927. Microsoft recommends that customers experiencing issues uninstall this update. Microsoft is investigating behavior associated with this update, and will update the advisory when more information becomes available."
