I'm using InstallShield 2015 to create an MSI file.
On my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine, I can specify a pfx file and password, and it will sign the MSI file.
On my Server 2008 (32bit) machine, it can't sign the file. It fails with error -1027.
I've looked for what might cause this: 1. Improper pfx file or password - nope, it works on Win7, and works on 2008 when I use signtool.exe directly
2. Signtool.exe is missing - it seems that earlier versions of IS needed it in either the support or system subdirectory of Installshield. I copied it to both of those without any luck. (It's not in any subdir of IS on my Win7 machine.)
Hi Brian, there is only a limited support for SHA256 signing under Vista an Server 2008. I had also problems to get SHA256 signing run on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
I think the only solution is to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 which has a full support of SHA256 signing.
