Thanks for the suggestion to contact Sectigo -- they responded immediately with exactly what I needed. It turns out there's a setting for this! You can "Enable Single Logon" which will not prompt you to enter the password every time but it is only valid until screen locks. You can Enable t...

Thanks, Catalin. My token is from Sectigo in case you have better luck contacting them for some reason.

I renewed our code signing certificate this month and it was delivered as a physical token rather than a .cer or .pfx file. I activated the token so it's now in the local certificate store and it works fine. The only issue is that I'm required to enter the token password half a dozen times when gene...

@Catalin: I would have liked to use custom Launch Conditions but, unless I'm mistaken, I can't control the sequence of execution, which means I can't guarantee that the bitness check will be first. If that's not correct, please let me know. Regardless, I tried your suggestion and it works fine. The ...

Thanks to several helpful threads here I know how to determine the bitness of an Office app, which I need to do prior to installing my add-in. However, unlike @Catalin's excellent tutorial and sample installer, I don't have a mixed bitness install. Instead, if the bitness is wrong I want to halt the...

Unfortunately, I don't have a specific suggestion. Making the selectors larger and more prominent would probably help a bit. It would be great if they were located in the main working area of the app rather than on the ribbon, but I don't think that's practical. So I guess we're back to leaving them...

Thank you -- you found the problem! I was certain that I was overlooking a setting somewhere in the installer that was causing the problem but couldn't find it. Thanks also for explaining more about registry redirection; it's a subject I don't know enough about and have been confused by in the past....

Catalin, Thanks for your suggestion but I'm not certain that's the source of the problem. The "StencilPath_2016" and "TemplatePath_2016" entries are not under the PRO_only feature, they are part of a long list of components that are included in every build -- note the level of in...

Thanks, Catalin. I wasn't expecting you to know precisely what was wrong! But I hoped there might be an obvious place or two for me to look for something I had missed.

I'll send the requested files to you shortly.

This is driving me crazy! I'm sure I'm missing a setting somewhere but can't find it. My installer has two builds, one for Standard and one for Professional. It also includes one main feature and two sub-features: The main feature is included in all builds and contains several dozen components; the ...

A further thought on my question above -- my real objective is to create an installer that can be used in either of two ways: 1) a user logs in with their own account, runs the installer, preferably without requiring admin rights, and ends up with a per-user install 2) an IT admin logs in to the com...

Our current installer is set to install per user, which we've done for reasons related to the licensing of our app. However, an increasing number of our customers want to install while logged into an IT admin account on the user's machine. Naturally, a per-user install doesn't do any good because al...

I've failed to find the correct combination of settings to achieve this result: I want a per-user install, but the installer needs to be run by either 1) an end user with admin rights, or 2) an admin on behalf of a standard user. #1 is easy. For #2, on a system where the standard user name is Scott,...

Thanks, Dan. That does explain what's happening. I'll continue with my original approach of using a custom search. For the second part of my question: is there any way other than using a custom action to remove the string I've added during uninstall (I'm currently using VB script). For example, if t...

An update on my question: after posting the question I noticed that selecting "prepend" changes the reg key type from REG_SZ to REG_MULTI_SZ. I think this is actually the root of the problem. The StencilPath and TemplatePath are Visio reg entries and Visio doesn't recognize the key after t...
