SetupBuilder Compile error

[NewsArchive]

Freidrich,

I have a setupbuilder file that compiled just fine till I updated to
6.9.2454
that would register the template in C7.

I am now getting a code signing error on just one file.
Nothing else has changed since the last compile in older version.

See attached screen shots.

Suggestions ?

Best regards,
Bo

Yes, check the information in the code-signing properties. I assume the
password is incorrect or the timestamp server is not accessible, etc.

And of course, make sure that the code-signing certificate you are using
is not expired :)

Hope this helps.

BTW, and if you are sure that your certificate is still valid and all the
code-sign information you entered is correct, then please also see the

I see your problem (in your attached screenshot). You code-sign and then
add the Vista-manifest <bg> This is NOT allowed ;-)

So I am pretty sure this project never worked!!!!!! It has nothing to do
with updating to 6.9.2454

It compiled fine in following version.

SetupBuilder Compiler: 6.9.2390

Compilation Date/Time: 10/31/2008 -- 2:10:15PM


But I will certainly change it to see if that works.<g>

Yes, compiles fine but after the first compile you already had a destroyed
code-signature. If you had compiled the same again then the destroyed
code-signature would have resulted in the very same -1 code-signing error
because you do not have a valid Win32 PE header format any longer ;-)

It has *nothing* to do with the update to 6.9.2454.

Hi Bo,

By the way, if you don't believe me, rollback to 6.9.2390 and see what
happens with the same project ;-)

Friedrich,

Funny thing is that it was ok on the ones with Vista manifest added last,
but failed on the one without Vista manifest added.

I have not revisited it yet, and will recompile the exe's first.
I will move the add Vista manifest to before the code signing.

My next question is if my script contains

add vista manifest
code sign exe [permanent]

and then recompile the setupbuilder a second time, will it add
the vista manifest on the second compile and corrupt the file?
It should already have the code signing in place and skip it.

Do I need to change this?

Yes, the correct sequence is:

#embed Vista manifest [Permanent] [Skip]
#code-sign application [Permanent] [Skip]

This will embed the Vista-manifest into your application file and then
code-sign it. After that you have a perfectly valid Vista-manifested and
code-signed application.

BTW, make sure you have "Skip if file is already Vista manifested" and "Skip
if file is already code-signed" options enabled.

Does this help?

Friedrich,

Yes, that helps. I had skip and permanent on both, just wrong order.
Thanks for the pointers.

You are very welcome.
