Notes:

You will also need CertFreeCertificateContext to free pCertContext.

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

  CERT_CONTEXT certContext = default;
  try
  {
      // - First call gets the hash data buffer size.
      // - Second call gets the hash data for real.
      byte[] pbHashData = Array.Empty<byte>();
      int pcbHashData = 0;
      HRESULT hresult = HRESULT.E_MOREDATA;
      for (int i = 0; i < 2 && hresult == HRESULT.E_MOREDATA; i++)
      {
          hresult = MsiGetFileSignatureInformation(
          msiFilePath,
          MSISIGINFO.MSI_INVALID_HASH_IS_FATAL,
          ref pCertContext,
          pbHashData,
          ref pcbHashData);

          if (hresult == HRESULT.E_MOREDATA)
          {
              // pbHashData is ready to use now.
              pbHashData = new byte[pcbHashData];
          }
      }

      // Copy PCCERT_CONTEXT from the unmanaged space to CERT_CONTEXT in managed space.
      // certContext is ready to use now.
      certContext =
          pCertContext == IntPtr.Zero
          ? default
          : Marshal.PtrToStructure<CERT_CONTEXT>(pCertContext);
  }
  finally
  {
      // The PCCERT_CONTEXT returned by MsiGetFileSignatureInformation must be
      // freed with CertFreeCertificateContext.
      if (pCertContext != IntPtr.Zero)
      {
          CertFreeCertificateContext(pCertContext);
      }
  }
