Is there a document describing step by step how to digitally code sign .VSIX file using Comodo Code Signing?

Hello @Joginder Nahil ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Normally, you can use VSIXSignTool to sign a VSIX(VSIXSignTool.exe sign /f <certfile> /p <password> <VSIXfile>) with a password protected certificate file.
If Comodo Code Signing you mentioned is a code signing certificate, you can refer to this document: To use the VSIXSignTool.
If Comodo Code Signing you mentioned is a code signing tool, I suggest posting this issue on Comodo Code Signing related forums or referencing the related guide documents for further help.
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Tianyu

Thank you Tianyu. I have collected my code signing certificate, from Sectigo, as user.crt. I have used many suggestions on forums to convert it to .pfx before use VSIXSignTool to sign my .vsix file. Can someone advise me, step by step, to use user.crt file to digitally sign my .vsix file? Sincerely, Joginder
Hi @Sarvjit Nahil ,
This document shared the detailed steps. The main command to use is VSIXSignTool.exe sign /f <certfile> /p <password> <VSIXfile>. May I know if any step blocks you or any error appears when you try to follow the steps to sign the extension?
Add your VSIX to a project, if you are using a VSIX project => right click on the project node in Solution Explorer => Manage NuGet Packages… => switch to Browse tab => search for Microsoft.VSSDK.Vsixsigntool => select and click Install => after finishing installing, you can find the vsixsigntool.exe in this directory: C:\Users\username\.nuget\packages\microsoft.vssdk.vsixsigntool\XX.X.XXXXX.XX\tools\vssdk => run CMD and run cd command to redirect to above directory like cd C:\Users\username\.nuget\packages\microsoft.vssdk.vsixsigntool\XX.X.XXXXX.XX\tools\vssdk => run command to sign VSIX: VSIXSignTool.exe sign /f <certfile> /p <password> <VSIXfile>, remember to replace the "certfile", "password" and "VSIXfile" with specific information.
Best Regards,
Tianyu
