Does anyone know how to digitally sign the files that can be added to Disk1? (Behavior and Logic > Support Files > Advanced Files > Disk1) When signing an install using InstallShield, it will sign the setup.exe and Windows Installer Package, and then exes, dlls, and other signable files that are added to the package itself. However, I see no way to sign an executable that sits at the root of the disk. Our autorun.inf runs an executable (autorun.exe), which in turn runs setup.exe and I'd like the install to sign autorun.exe. I've tried a couple of things, adding the file to the "Include Patterns and Files" using various paths, but no luck. Has anyone needed to do this and succeeded? Thanks.

While VersionNT, VersionNT64, & GetVersionEx are returning 603 for Windows 10, you could also look at the property WindowsBuild and check if it's >= 10240. This was the official Win 10 build. This sounds good, but WindowsBuild is returning 9600 rather than 10240. 😞

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That took care of the entire problem.

I tried what the InstallTalk blog said to do in IS2012 just see how it worked with the old XML format. I could not get it to work there at all. Nothing showed up as the background. Snippets from the .issuite: In IS2012 using 3 images (header, body & footer) everything looked good. In IS2014 using the full wizard background, the header and footer are not showing the graphic that should fill the dialog. I also tried IS2014 using my 3 images (header, body & footer). Again, the header and footer graphics are not displayed. It looks the same as the previous picture. I obviously still have something wrong in the .issuite, but no matter what I change, it just doesn't work right. By the way, while in the IDE, the dialogs look correct. All of the graphics (header, body & footer) are visible, but when I run the Suite, the graphics are wrong.

I am having difficulties with using brushes that contain images in suite wizard pages. In IS2012, I had 3 images - header, body and footer. They filled the entire dialog box as they were supposed to and looked like a seamless graphic. In IS2014, the header is offset from the body (raised up) and a different width than the body. I have yet to have the footer show up under the navigation buttons. I also tried using a single file instead and it smooshed everything together into the body area only. I had assumed it would expand to fill the entire dialog box. Is that not the case? The header and footer contain default colors. Any ideas of what I have set up incorrectly?

I had not realized that there were multiple interfaces. Looking at the help I now see 3 different interfaces. The differences between them are not explained very well, which explains my confusion. Now that I've written my CA functions using the appropriate interface it works fine. Thank you for responding!

Has anyone had any luck getting an action from an event to work in a Suite install? I have created a dll which contains exported functions which work without issue as custom actions from a dialog, but if I try to use the same functions from an event, the QueryInterface fails and returns an error. It doesn't seem to matter which event I use, the QueryInterface always fails.

That fixed it. Thank you so much!

I am having the same problem. This worked without issue before Spring SP1 was released! Is there a hotfix available for this?

JBeauvais · ‎Oct 19, 2009

Thank you. I have the sp1 standalone build now. I had tried that before I submitted my question, but the web page wouldn't come up -- bad address. Probably associated to all of the changes that have been taking place while they change from Acresso to Flexera.

Is there an IS2010 SP1 Standalone Build available? My projects were updated to the new ism schema after installing IS2010 SP1 and when they are built using the existing standalone build, it tries to downgrade the projects before building them. That's just too scary for me! :eek: I checked the latest IS updates, but the SP1 standalone is not listed. Thanks.
