SHOWSTOPPER in SB10 #4920

[NewsArchive]

All,

The new SHA-2 certificate causes a problem in one of our 64-bit components.
If you are using the "Set x64 Mode..." script function in your project(s)
then it will display a '[1] Startup loader error' error when you run an
installer. I have temporary disabled the Runtime Manager because all x64
Core PreRequisites make use of it. Item in review...

Dear Frederich!

Hold da helt kæft, hvor er det godt!

Too overwhelmed over, to se my first SHA-1/SHA-2 install 15 minutes
after download of SB10 to be able to write in forigin languages.

Fantastic!

BTW, I found the cause for the showstopper. The embedded dual SHA-1/SHA-2
signature in one of our 64-bit components causes a stack corruption (because
the size of the signature doubled). I think that I have fixed it and will
make a patch available soon.

It's fix now. We'll upload a new Build #4921 and WebUpdate soon. The final
library code-signing process a few hours before the release caused it :-(
The compiler can handle this scenario now.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Hi Friedrich,

I hope this dual SHA-1/SHA-2 signature won't give problems with Clarion
6.3 (or higher) compiled executables? (Because the size of the signature
doubled.)

Best regards,
Jeffrey

Clarion 6.3 apps (or higher) are not affected (as far as I know).
SetupBuilder installers can run in 32-bit, 64-bit or hybrid 32-/64-bit mode.
The 64-bit parts had a problem with the new dual SHA-1/SHA-2 signature.
It's fixed now and I'll make Build 4921 available within the next two hours.

I don't need any 64-bit installs currently, so I'm assuming this won't
affect my current installs.

I've downloaded the SB10 installer and ran it about 30 minutes ago.
Started SB10 and did a brief look around. Since I was not prompted for
an update, am I safe to assume I got this fix in the installer I downloaded?

The fix will be available within the next two hours. If there is a problem
with your install then you'll see it immediately (the loader will give a
runtime error when you start it).

Thanks Friedrich!

The new SHA-1/SHA-2 code-signing and Windows 10 added an extra level of
complexity to the SB system. Very low-level compiler modifications, new
64-bit components, a new build environment (Windows 10), a new deployment
script (one .sbp handles all SetupBuilder editions). Ohhh boy. But we had
to do it now to be prepared for the future.

I'll post some HowTo's soon. SHA1/SHA2 code-signing, Windows 10 and Windows
8.1 (latest patches) handling, etc.
