Code Signing Steps

I will be selling two applications, one a console app and the other a GUI app; both are .NET 4.0 apps. After they are compiled, they are submitted to an obfuscating program; then they are zipped up and copied to my web site. The apps do not require installation.

My two questions are: When I use code signing, can I sign the apps after they are obfuscated?

And…after they are code signed, will the apps require installation or can they continue to be copied?

We are in the process of buying COMODO code signing cert. After going through the web, we got the following article.

As I understand, you need to sign the executable.
