title: Retrieve timestamp from digital signature in exe file using vba
body: <p>Is it possible to retrieve the timestamp date from a digital signature in an exe file using only vba?  I don't need to edit anything in the signature or file.  I just need to use that date in my code.  </p>
  
  <p>I've tried to find similar examples but can only find ones about actually signing files, not simply retrieving the timestamp date.  I've read about the signtool.exe and the signedcode object using the capicom dll, but I can't find any examples using these in vba to get the date.  I thought I read somewhere that capicom was discontinued too so not sure if I've been looking in the right place or not.  Do I have to somehow incorporate signtool into my code or is there a library I can reference that can retrieve that date?</p>
  
  <p>Sorry I don't have any code.  I have no idea how to start, if it's even possible to do this with just vba.  Thank you in advance and sorry for the lack of knowledge on my part.</p>
