Re: Unable to code-sign with USB Dongle and Azure Pipeline Agent

I will try to look into that but, just so I understand clearly before spending another day on this, are you certain that it is possible to use a .PFX file when a dongle is required by Digicert in the code-signing step?

How do I make AI show me the command line it uses for code-signing?

I'm having big problems with code-signing. Is there a way to force AI to log out what exact value it uses when it invokes signtool? I realize I can explicitly specify the command line for signtool itself and I might be forced to do that. But for the time being, in trying to determine the nature of m...

Unable to code-sign with USB Dongle and Azure Pipeline Agent

I have an EV Code Signing Certificate with a dongle from DigiCert. I need to change my nightly Azure Pipeline build to use it. But I cannot get the AI Build step to code-sign with it. Note that we've long used a local Build Agent to build on our local machine so the only change here is the code-sign...

Why does AI need access to my private key?

I just updated from 19.7 to 19.7.1. Then I built a new version of my installer. On the build, Windows Security popped up a dialog saying "Do you want to allow the app to access your private key? Key description: CryptoAPI Private Key". The dialog popped up around 10 times during the build....

Re: My Custom Action Dialog is hidden by my installer window

I should add that when I changed the custom Action's "Execution Time" setting from "Immediately to "When the system is being modified (deferred)", the dialog started appearing on top

AI re-selects "Require Internet Connection" on me

This has happened to me 3 or 4 times now over the past 2 years. 1. I uncheck the "Run only if an active Internet Connection is Found" checkbox in my "Launch Conditions" page. 2. I build/test the installer all is well. No connection is required. 3. At some point in the future I ge...

My Custom Action Dialog is hidden by my installer window

I am trying to use the custom action "Run a PowerShell inline script" to make my installer pop up a warning dialog. The boiler plate code that gets added gives me the ability to show a dialog and it works just fine except for one problem: The dialog pops up behind my installer window. I di...

How can I make this custom driver install step work?

I want my installer to run a simple Windows command that uses an .INF file to install a driver. I want to make AI (Professional) do the equivalent of this Windows command line command pnputil -i -a ximeausbx64.inf This command works just fine when I personally run it from the Windows command line as...

For a long time I have been building my AI application both on my local machine and on Azure Pipelines (using the Azure Advanced Installer Task) with no problems. After recent changes (which I will detail below), last night's build on Azure failed with the following error. Failed to execute Advanced...

How do I "fake" a first-time install to test my EULA?

I've managed to add a EULA to my application in both English and French (thanks to another answer on this forum). Now I would like to test it out. Unfortunately when I run the installer, it never shows me the EULA. I am guessing this is because it's not the first-time; I have already installed this ...
