Hi All,

I vaguely remember that there is a SetupBuilder newsgroup, but... when
try subscribing it again... could not locate at all.

Where should I go?

news.softvelocity.com
discuss.softvelocity.com

Thanks.

Hi Linder,

Thanks for the link.

And... since you are on-line...

I have been using SetupBuilder 6.5.1911 and codesigned all my EXEs
distributed. No errors were prompted during the codesigning.

But... my customers still encountered the prompt:

"The publisher could not be verified, are you sure you want to run this
software?..."

And... at the bottom of the prompt, it states that "... this files does
not have a valid digital signature...."

Any clues what mistakes have I committed?

Thanks.

Hi Kelvin,

Perhaps you forgot to code-sign the main executable of your application?

If Windows reports that it does not have a valid signature then it is not
code-signed.

HTH,

BTW, I would suggest to use the latest SetupBuilder 6.6 Build 2016. There
are new features that gives you again more control over the code-signing
process.

And there are even installer functions to check if a file is code-signed (or
valid, etc.).

OK, I think I found my mistakes.

Will try and revert.

Thanks.

Hi Linder,

Apart from filling in the 'Digital Signatures' information at the
Setupbuilder, is there any other place to check?

Thanks.

Hi Kelvin,

Yes. "Digital Signature" in the General Information Visualizer code-signs
the installer!

To code-sign your own application files, you can use the "#code-sign
application" compiler directive. BTW, if you also use the "#embed Vista
manifest" compiler directive, make sure you call the code-signing part after
embedding the Vista manifest.

Does this help?

Hi Linder,

It was my mistake; never enter the details at the directives...

It is already code signed.

Thanks.
