I have multiple file formats in my application deployment. For example, one configuration file (.cfg), one ML pickle file (.pkl)

SignTool able to sign DLLs, but throws error while signing other file formats.

Please suggest how to proceed.

    not all the files support digital signing
    mostly applications and documents are digitally signed to be recognized by the system
