Problem compiling

[NewsArchive]

I have moved setupbuider from vista to windows 7 64 bit. I installed from
the website. When I try to compile I get error messages
about files not found. It doesn't tell me which files it can't find. It
seems to have to do with the digital certificate.
on the digital certificate screen I have a pfx file listed. It is where it
should be. The following is the error message:


Linking decompression library...

I think you forgot to switch from SignCode.exe to SignTool.exe.

Tools | Options... | File Locations tab -> Digital Signature

Does this help?

Well that solved that problem. But now I am getting this:

I know this is still code signing. I have looked at digital signatures
under tools and projects. Any Ideas

You said that you have a Windows 7 64 bit machine now. I assume you did you
follow Microsoft's installation instructions for SignTool. Maybe you just
copied SignTool.exe to your machine? That's simply not enough. IMO,
capicom.dll is missing or not registered on your machine. Fix this and you
should be done.

Does this help?

BTW, try the following:

www.lindersoft.com/capicom_v2102.exe

Friedrich,

Will this be a permanent download link? - so it will be easy for
SetupBuilder users to obtain, install and register capicom.dll?

TIA,

David

Hi David,

I don't know if this will be a permanent link. Microsoft is inconsistent
here.

Some REDIST.TXT files for capicom (prior v2.1.0.2) simply say that 'you may
distribute capicom.DLL'

But the SDK distribution for this version 2.1.0.2 is missing an important
portion of the license information. In the EULA it references a REDIST.TXT
file that is not included with the distribution.

Found this on the Microsoft TechNet web site:

"Non-Microsoft products can redistribute and install CAPICOM.dll."

So I think it is allowed to redistribute the DLL.

Friedrich,

After understanding a bit better, some of the problems others run into with
a new Windows 7 computer - virtual machine and the necessary code sign
tools - I did some experimenting in a Fresh Install - Windows 7 Ultimate
x86 (32 bit) Virtual Machine

I did a search for capicom.dll - none was present on Fresh Install -
Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32 bit) Virtual Machine.

Note: For those getting used to Windows 7 x64 Program Files folders - Using
Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32 bit) in this experiment, all Program File
references with be C:\Program Files\ rather than C:\Program Files (x86)\
(if you are using Windows 7 x64)

I used a trial version of SetupBuilder Developer edition to conduct the
experiment.

* * capicom.dll

Anyone could readily access this setup

Platform SDK Redistributable: CAPICOM
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=860EE43A-A843-462F-ABB5-FF88EA5896F6&displaylang=en

This setup will install capicom.dll and register the dll as well.

installs by default to this location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft CAPICOM 2.1.0.2 SDK\Lib\X86

* * signtool.exe and pvk2pfx.exe

Product Description - App Data UAC Safe, MFG - Encourager Software
Internet Link - http://profileexchanges.com/blog/?p=120

In the Encourager Software CHM version of this blog

Signtool.exe Help Topic (current version - I will include the Platform SDK
Redistributable: CAPICOM reference in an update)

Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e-1fd44e0e2505

installs signtool.exe and pvk2pfx.exe to your computer

Advantage - After choosing Installation options (Win32 Development tools) -
the install file itself is considerably less than other methods of
obtaining signtool.exe and pvk2pfx.exe, installs to a known folder by
default:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\bin

then it's a matter of copying signtool.exe to anther folder or referencing
it for SetupBuilder - Tools - Options - File Location use

But does NOT include installing and registering capicom.dll - refer to:
Platform SDK Redistributable: CAPICOM

* * * * *

The current:

Learning SetupBuilder Part I - Preparing SetupBuilder for Code-Signing -
explains well the three files needed -

signtool.exe, pvk2pfx.exe (if one does not already have a PFX certificate
file) and capicom.dll

but no practical - step by step - how to obtain these three files.

* * * * *

Suggestions (I'm sure you and Jane are already discussing this in detail -
but here's my view! :-D)

If your company can distribute capicom.dll - then Future SetupBuilder
installs include installing and registering capicom.dll

but for those with current SetupBuilder installs - keep this download
reference handy and documented - www.lindersoft.com/capicom_v2102.exe

AND an easy, documented method to obtain signtool.exe and pvk2pfx.exe as I
illustrate in my Signtool.exe Help topic
