I have Created one windows form Application. And also created it's setup using Install Shield in Visual Studio 2012.

Now I have one Code Signing Certificate and I want to add it in my Project Setup. How can I do It?

Unsure about InstallShield LE, but Professional and above have a tab called "Signing" under the Release view where you can set up your signing particulars. See here: Signing Tab in InstallShield Professional

FWIW, InstallShield just uses the signing tools that come from Microsoft such as signtool.exe to sign the build.

Edit: Also found this help doc from InstallShield.

On Visual Studio open your InstallShield LE setup project. Under Step 6 "Prepare for Release" double-click Releases. In the resulting window you are presented with the tree-view that contains the Builds/Express/SingleImage. There is a tab named "Signing". Enter the path/filename for the Digital Certificate File, the Certificate Password, and specify which output files you want to sign. Install Shield then signs the installation program upon a build.

Got this info, and it worked for me, from this answer and comments
