Hi,
I am trying to sign my installation files using a DigiCert KeyLocker certificate from
Installshield 2022. I have previously used .pfx certificates without issues. However,
I cannot find how I could use this new kind of certificates based on Cloud signing
och Hardware locks.
I have written a powershell script which can sign the files using DigiCert's smctl
application, but cannot find where to call it in Installshield.

Hi @peter_andersso,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, this is expected behavior. You would need to upgrade to InstallShield 2023 R2 or InstallShield 2024 R1 to gain access to this new custom signing functionality.
Here is a link to the InstallShield 2023 R2 Release Notes, which clarify the new functionality that you would gain from upgrading to that version:
Here is a link to the InstallAnywhere 2024 R1 Release Notes, which clarify the new functionality that you would gain by upgrading to that version:

Hi @peter_andersso,
Thank you for your post.
I've included sample InstallShield project settings and a sample PowerShell script for custom signing that will work. It has been tested by our Engineering Team. I attached a screenshot of the InstallShield project settings.
Path: <SystemFolder>\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Arguments: -file "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\step.ps1" -name [filename]
Sample ScriptSigning.ps1
param(
[string]$name
)
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86\"
.\signtool.exe sign /fd SHA256 /debug /f "<ProgramFilesFolder>\TestCA.pfx" /t http://timestamp.digicert.com /p "MyPassword" $name
Could you please give these suggestions a try? Do they work for you?
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hi @Revenera_Ian ,
Thank you for the proposed solution. It certainly looks like it would be
a nice solution for my issue, however, I cannot find the signing type
setting in Installshield 2022:
