Summary

Can InstallShield use Extended Validation Authenticode Certificates to sign MSI packages?

Question


Does InstallShield support the use of Extended Validation Authenticode Certificates?

Answer


There is no default "built-in" feature which supports Extended Validation Authenticode Certificates.

A possible solution however is as follows:

InstallShield Premier has support for Build Events which allow commands to be run before, during and after builds.


User-added image

The Precompression Event which runs after InstallShield has built the .msi package but before the MSI has been streamed into the setup.exe file could be used to create a command to sign the MSI package using an Extended Validation Authenticode Certificates

More information regarding about Build Events can be found in our Helpnet article: Specifying Commands that Run Before, During, and After Builds
