I'm using InstallAware X15 (32.40) and have issues with authenticode signing. My project goes through the build process and every signature step that's logged in the progress window succeeds except for the last one. The last one fails about 50% of the time I build the project. Since it can succeed t...

Is there a way to stop the compiling of a project if a compiler variable has an unexpected value? I have an installer project that will build a 32 or 64 bit installer based on a compiler variable value. If the compiler variable contains a value that is not one of the expected values, I'd like to abo...

I'm now using X15 and this service control behavior still exists. Any suggestions?

I'm using InstallAware X10 and I've got one project that can install the 32 or 64 bit version of my product based on a compiler variable. I've got a group of files that should always go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\<companyname>\Bridge The 64-bit version does this just fine and puts the group o...

I just stopped and restarted IA and built the project again. It worked fine - I have no idea why. I'll continue on and see if it happens again.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks Francesco,

I ran your two signing commands with my certificate and a file to sign. Both worked successfully and yet the "IA Code Sign Tool" and IA X10 itself report an error when signing the installer. What could be the cause of that?

I'm using InstallAware X10. I recently renewed a code signing certificate and InstallAware reports a failure trying to sign the installer. I can successfully use signtool.exe to manually sign executable files - so the certificate is good. I use the command: signtool sign /f "filename.pfx" ...

Is there a runtime that includes the Spectre/Meltdown mitigation code? Or is it included in one of the listed runtimes: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime for Visual Studio 2017 v.15.2 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime for Visual Studio 2017 v.15.4 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime for Visual Studio 2017 v.15.7 Mic...

I'm using InstallAware X10 and I have a project that can be built in either 32 or 64 bit mode. I recently upgraded from version X3 where this project built in either mode without error. When I build the project in X10 using the 64 bit mode (from the IDE with the compiler variable set for 64 bit mode...

I have InstallAware X3. Is it possible to include a merge module file based on a compiler variable? If it's not in this version, is it possible in any later version?

Hi, I'm using InstallAware X3. I've got a couple of compiler variables defined. I'd like to verify those have the expected range of values, and if they don't, abort the installer creation process. I've got the logic inside 'compiler if / else /end' statements, but I don't know of a way to stop Insta...

Hi, I'm using InstallAware X3. My install program has to install and start some services. Occasionally one will fail to start for various reasons (usually permission or TCP port binding errors). When that happens, I see a dialog box with the options to Retry or Cancel. Canceling completely rolls bac...

Did this issue ever get resolved? I'm using version X3.

I'm using InstallAware X3. When I install my program, everything works fine. It has a mix of native and .net services. When I run the installer again and select the Maintenance option, the install fails on the .net services. I'm assuming that's due to InstallUtil finding the services already install...

Hello, I'm trying to use a .pfx file for signing my installation. I want to be prompted for the password, so I leave the password field empty. Building the executable does not prompt for the password and always fails with the error: Signing installation executable Error during build: Unable to sign ...
