Hi,

Which target OS is the best to use in File Properties for EXEs?

One of our customers has just bought an ARM computer running Windows 11. After Installation, we're having to go into...

Hi Friedrich,

I'm sure it does not have anything to do with SB. As I said, this does not happen when I run an uninstaller directly from its executable in Windows Explorer.

I'm just reporting...

Hi, I hesitated to report this, hoping it was a coincidence the first time, but it just happened again today.

I have the Program Files folder of my dev machine residing on Drive E: and a symbolic...

Hi Friedrich, it does help, but probably not the way you think.

It inexplicably did not occur to me that a "Does not equal" option would exist on compiler directive "if" statements like it does on...

Hi,

I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious.

Using the example in the Help under "Releases", there's a "ComposerFull" release and a "ComposerDownloadTrialWithoutHelp" release. This...

Thanks, Friedrich! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Friedrich,

Does SB have a way to read the properties of an existing shortcut?

I know I can use vbscript to read a property or properties of a shortcut, and (hopefully) pass them back to SB,...

I'm not going to try to defend them, Friedrich, but this "ini" file is generated by code descended from prehistorical times when things were less picky. :rolleyes:

Anyway, your answer was what I...

Hi Friedrich,

I'm supporting an existing system that has an INI file that some of my installations have to add entries to.

This INI file has no sections. When I use the Edit INI File function...

Hi Friedrich,

I think that would be fine.

But just to be specific, it's a "Do you want to save..." dialog, not "Do you want to change...".

Thanks,

Hi Friedrich,

I don't know if this was supposed to happen or not, but if not, I think it's a bug.

I had done some coding in the Script Editor, then went to "Files and Folders" to update some of...

Hi Friedrich, and anyone else following this:

After a couple of days of back-and-forth with Comodo technical support, their 3rd-level support found a solution.

The certificate had been issued...

I just noticed a very tiny detail.

In IE, the version number of the certificate is "V3", but after signing an .exe, Windows Explorer still shows the version number as "V2", which IE also said,...

Yes, exactly. "Code Signing" is checked, as are all the other check boxes visible in your screenshot.

But did you see the screenshots I posted of what Windows Explorer says about the certificate?...

However, this is what the certificate details look like after signing an .exe with it:

Friedrich,

Yes, it does. At least, I think so.

Friedrich,

No, actually, it said it had expired on 4/27/2008, even though I had renewed it on 4/30/2008.

So I re-imported it, and now IE says it's okay, with an expiration date of 4/30/2010.

Hi Friedrich,

No, I should have said. It's an XP machine.

Hi all, this is not a problem with SB. I'm posting here because this is where all the code-signing gurus hang out. (Jane?)

I've been code-signing my apps with a code-signing certificate from...

Hi,

I'm getting a GPF when I turn on "Encrypt Data" in the #zip compiler directive.

If I leave "Encrypt Data" unchecked, the zip is created cleanly, no GPF.

Is there anything I should look...

Hi Friedrich,

Well, it sort of helps and sort of doesn't, because that's precisely how I thought it was supposed to work, but that's not how it's working for me.

Using the 10 serial numbers in...

Hi, I've got a question about exactly what is meant by the "serial number range".

I have generated a serial number text file that contains 900000 serial numbers (yes, I'm being optimistic).
...

Ah, that's an excellent option. But why would I not want to have the code-signing be "permanent"?

Thanks, Friedrich.

Hi Friedrich,

Ah. Having read the documentation at the link you sent, I think I have a clue.

I have a mixed environment here, and am using Samba rather than a pure LAN Manager networks...

Hi, Friedrich

Actually, I was very careful in my research before I posted my question, and I am absolutely certain that the signature was being removed. I left a Windows Explorer window open to...
