Re: Software signing - Could not extract digital certificate from

Further testing. It appears that if i create a new Advanced Installer project and then build it, it signs as expected using the same code signing certificate. Scratch that, there were no files to sign - when i add a file to sign then rebuild, i get the same error - Could no extract digital certifica...

Re: Software signing - Could not extract digital certificate from

Hello Liviu, Further testing has shown that this error only occurs when creating a Single Exe setup (resources inside). Testing of all other scenarios appears to be ok and the build completes. Also found that I was not able to change the CAB size under Advanced CAB layout. When i did make it bigger ...

Re: Software signing - Could not extract digital certificate from

Would it be possible to call the support team at all. I've narrowed it down now quite considerably.
Are there any detailed debug logs that i can use?

Best regards,
Ian

Software signing - Could not extract digital certificate from

Recently updated our software signing certificate and tested it. To test it i exported the public and private certificate into a pfx file. Then i used signtool from the command line to sign a dll file with the pfx password, timestamp and sha256 swtiches on. This worked fine and the file was signed o...

Drop down box for certificate selection

Question, during install i'd like to add a drop down selector box to read the IIS certificate store so that i can choose the certificate i want to use.
Also is it possible to then read the FQDN from that certificate and put it into a variable?

Many thanks.
Ian

Re: .NET 6.x.x install prior to IIS causes corruption

Thanks very much for your reply.

Since we are using an older version of Advanced Installer it will try to install IIS version 6 which is no good so there might be a solution using a custom action and sequencing that. I'll keep looking.

Best regards,
Ian

.NET 6.x.x install prior to IIS causes corruption

Using Advanced Installer 12.7.2 If .NET Core is installed prior to the Windows IIS feature then it causes corruption. This is a known MS Issue and been wondering if I can check for this then work around it using Advanced Installer. Currently it is a task for the end installer person to make sure tha...

Can I add a package to the Predefined Prerequisites?

Using Advanced Installer 12.7.2 I'm frequently updating the .Net hosting bundle in many installers and there are a few. Although i can add it as a Pre-Install prerequisite, sometimes i find it would be easieer to add it to the Predefined Prerequisites table in the Frameworks and Runtimes area of Pac...

I would like to change some application configurations, mainly the authentication types - instead of using Anonymous, use Windows Authentication. Looks like this works ok with the root Default Website as shown in my working example below. However I have tried the same with applications on the Defaul...

Re: Installer fails when trying to run Powershell command

Ok, looks like i have figured it out - not a big fix at all ;) For the powershell custom action whether it be inline or from script file, you must select '64-bit script' which forces the installer to use the latest version on the destination (workstation or server). In turn this then allows installe...
