RE: ASC files not verifying Windows pgAdmin 4 installers

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your note. I was wondering why there was a disconnect. I had to download gpg4Win and reference a StackOverflow post for the public key for pgAdmin before I could verify the asc file and the exe file. I think you path is much easier unless there is a pointer to the correct public key.

Again, thank you for your support.

I tried to download pgAdmin 4.18 and 4.19 for Windows, but I cannot use the corresponding asc files posted at https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v4.18/windows/<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.postgresql.org%2Fftp%2Fpgadmin%2Fpgadmin4%2Fv4.18%2Fwindows%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C194b076d00b44ecd77dc08d7d482e950%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637211531032686656&sdata=en6eBFCIt1Kys%2Fq%2FyOpgd3C2zrU7xwu2c7zLToS8ceQ%3D&reserved=0> or at https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v4.19/windows/<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.postgresql.org%2Fftp%2Fpgadmin%2Fpgadmin4%2Fv4.19%2Fwindows%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C194b076d00b44ecd77dc08d7d482e950%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637211531032696667&sdata=YdIj0Br73uFKyxVHrJ5RlV6S1Myjn4NewT83yx92vfk%3D&reserved=0> to verify the installers. What must be done to allow for verifying the installers?

Thank you for your assistance.

They're largely irrelevant for the Windows installers to be honest; that because the installers themselves are codesigned, so Windows will automatically check them and warn you if the signatures are invalid or not.

I might just remove the sigs for the Windows installers (and the Mac ones, which are also codesigned using macOS' native technology).
