I am answering my question here because I found a workaround. I began to suspect that AI was not using the right certificate. It says it does. It has it highlighted in the UI but the signed binary makes itt look like it does not. Until now I have relied upon the standard dropdown in the code-signing...

I've been code-signing my AI installers with a Digicert USB key for a while now. The procedure this this 1. I check the "Enable Signing" box in the installer 2. The correct certificate (the only one) is selected 3. I build the app 4. The password dialog for my Digicert dongle comes up. 5. ...

At the end of my successful install build, I see these messages Total build time: 3 min 32 sec. Notification: The following Localization Identifiers do not have translations: Control.Text.InstallDlg#Edit_1 for languages:1036-French (France) UIText.SharePointLogNoWsps for languages:1036-French (Franc...

Our software runs fine on Windows 10 and Windows 11 but there is something about the "IOT" versions of these that prevents us from running. Either some critical windows DLL is missing or it is present but lacking some functions that we call. Is there any way in Advanced Installer to make i...

Hi Liviu, My apologies. I never saw your final reply on this thread. It was so long ago. Back then I was able to work around the issue by signing my older, software-based .PFX file (from a software-only certificate that we'd purchased totally separate from our Digicert Dongle). Somehow, as long as t...

I have a Digicert USB Dongle. I exported the .CER file and set up the code-signing to use this file as described in the AI User guide. And it works just fine. But only if I build the AI project interactively. But when my Azure Pipeline, self-hosted build agent goes off, the code-signing step fails. ...

The font size in the Advanced Installer application is tiny on my high-resolution monitors. Even compared to the rest of my Windows Applications. Changing the Windows global text size has no effect upon it. Could you please give us the option to increase it? My eyes are old and I am forced to litera...

At the end of my installer, I want to silently run a setup for a custom printer driver. The driver setup is about 20 files. So I want my installer to basically put the install files somewhere -- like the user's temp folder -- then use a custom-build step to run the setup.exe silently, then delete al...

The font that AI uses for me is tiny. In particular in the Left Pane. It's hard for me to read. Most of the rest of the Windows App I use are OK AI is just too small. I don't want to increase the windows general font size just AI's. Is there any way to do that? If not I need to turn this into a feat...

OP here. Did not realize there had been so much activity on this post. I also tried removing the output path and it similarly had no effect. I will send my own pipeline and log as well

I updated my build to AI version 20.1. I can manually build my installer no problem. But now, when I run my nightly AI build using Azure DevOps and a build agent -- which runs on my machine -- the agent always reports this error: [ DefaultBuild ] Creating MSI database (en) Could not copy template fi...

Excellent, thank you!

Unfortunately, Digicert tells me this is not possible. If it were it would defeat the purpose of the dongle in the first place. They will not let me export a PFX with password. So I either need to make this work one of two ways. Make AI to use the .CER file with password stored in the project file O...

My nightly build uses AI and runs in an Azure DevOps pipeline. Right now, whenever I decide I want a pre-requisite (e.g. .NET 6.0) and I check it, AI downloads the pre-requisite's MSI file right there and then. If that downloaded MSI is not present at build time, then the build simply fails. This fo...
