Azure Devops: Build fails with AI 18.6

Thu Aug 26, 2021 8:45 am

Our build pipeline was set to always use the latest version. Today (after using AI 18.6), we received the following error:

Code: Select all

The digital signing of the C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\advinst\18.6.0\x86\custact\x86\aipackagechainer.exe file failed. Error message: 'SignTool Error: The specified PFX password is not correct.
This is an unknown "signtool.exe" error!

For a possible solution please check our Digital Signature FAQ from:
https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/faq-digital-signature.html  ' 
 
Build finished because an error was encountered.
After I fixed the version to 18.5, the error disappeared. Is there maybe something wrong in your latest update?

Best regards,
Simon

Hello Simon,

Code: Select all

 Error message: 'SignTool Error: The specified PFX password is not correct.
The build log error message indicates that the password is incorrect and that’s why it fails.

Can you please make sure that the password used is correct?

Best regards,
Liviu

Hello Liviu,

sorry, that doesn't make any sense. It works perfectly fine, when I only change one thing: I switch back to version 18.5.
I didn't change anything else.

I am not using signtool.exe, but as far as I understand this message YOUR exe C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\advinst\18.6.0\x86\custact\x86\aipackagechainer.exe does.

Please check this!

Hi Simon,

After further investigation we discovered that this is an issue with .p12 certificates.

The .p12 certificates are seen as eTokens by Advanced Installer thus the signing with the .p12 certificates fails in 18.6 version of Advanced Installer.

Our development team is already working on this and we will update this thread as soon as we have a fix.

Best regards,
Liviu
