Re: issue with /execute in build script

Yes, I was using that to dynamically generate 3 different flavors of aic.txt. I since realized you could use %ENV% vars in the aic.txt.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have helped. I reworked the script to use:

;aic
SetProperty ProductName="%EVRBuildProductName%"
SetAzureKeyVaultSecret %AZURE ...

issue with /execute in build script

We switched to Azure signing with the helpful instructions on the site, works great on our mainline build script, looks like this:


echo ;aic > aic.txt
echo SetProperty ProductName="Zetec Software (Prototype)" >> aic.txt
echo SetAzureKeyVaultSecret %AZURE_KEYVAULT_SECRET% >> aic.txt
echo Build ...

Re: Digicert smctl expenses

The batching request in the cited post would not help, according to their chat bot
Each binary or artifact signed consumes one signature unit, and signing multiple files in a batch does not reduce the signature unit cost.

Seems like lots of people buy the DigiCert cloud signing product without reading the fine print, which is ~$1000/yr which only gets you 1000 signatures. Additional blocks ...

Build Caching not improving performance

We build 5 installers off one .ai project from the command line in our build script using -buildslist. Time to build all 5 is 22-24 minutes.

I'd hoped to increase performance by turning on caching, but it seems to have had zero impact. My guess is that each different build flavor causes the cache ...

Re: Prerequisites .Net 3.5 SP1

I see. Thanks. I'd bet that we're not using a project of that flavor, we started out with the free version of Advanced Installer. Is there a straightforward way to upgrade a project from whatever type it is now? Or do I need to start from scratch and do a lot of copy/paste.

Re: Prerequisites .Net 3.5 SP1

I may just be dim, but I don't see anything SP1 related in my prerequisites. I'm running AI version 6.7.1

What am I missing?
