error -6259: Internal build error

[vinodInstall]

I have been trying to resolve the issue in signing. I gave all details under Release->signing providing .pfx file  and password. Could any one please provide appropriate solution?

I am getting the same error.  Is there a solution for this?  I am using InstallShield 2018 Lite with Visual Studio 2017

Try adding your certificate to the trusted root certificate authorities store on the local build machine.
This article whilst old is still relevant for Windows 10 and explains how:

I have tried the steps but it didn't help.  In fact, i see additional error "SigningHelper: error 0x80072ee2 while attempting to sign file".  Do I need to reboot the machine? Also it asked me to save to a console1 when i exited mmc.  Also how do i check the IDE to make sure digital information provided is correct?

Hi ncapule,

Is your machine has the digital signature hotfix installed or not, if its not installed please install it by execute the steps mentioned in the following KB article and please share your feedback with us.

Even after installing hotfix if you are facing the same error, then Please check you are machine has anti virus or any security software running, if yes please turn it off once and then try building the project and see it builds successfully or not.

Will the hotfix work with InstallShield 2018 Lite and Visual Studio 2017?  Windows 10 pro

thanks

By the way, our build machine is isolated from the outside network and we are using the ntp timestamp server

Is Digital signature hotfix installed in your machine or not?

From when you are facing this issue? after upgrading windows or installing any windows update? or other changes in the machine including antivirus update?

Did you tried turning off anti virus to build the project?

I am setting this up in a new machine and this machine is isolated from the outside network.  i tried installing the patch but it cannot continue since it detected that i have InstallShield 2018 Lite and it is not listed as a compatible version for the patch.  I also tried turning off antivirus and that didn't help either.  We are using our own NTP timestamp server.  Is there a way i can manually invoke the signing part ? maybe i can debug it from that point.
