I'm familiar with creating prerequisites but it is difficult to recreate features like the download alternate links. These features are a significant part of InstallShield and I do expect the vendor to create them. I've noted that many of the .Net Core prerequisites are missing. As we transition to .Net Core we're finding we're having difficulty because of this. For example, we also need a prerequisite for windowsdesktop-runtime-3.1.10-win-x64.

Build machines were updated to Windows 10 1809 and a new McAffee version was applied that I'm told has Windows 10 compatibility fixes. We haven't seen the symptom since those updates.

Thank you for your reply. Here is my feedback on that article. ... install InstallShield Express to a shallow path. ... The resolution says change the InstallShield product install location, but it also mentions the build location. InstallShield is installed at the default location which is C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2019 SAB. Is this path excessive? The location of the source has also been moved several times without positive impact. If building to a network location ... This build is not using a network share. The build works about 4 out of 5 times. That it succeeds suggests permission is not an issue. When the build folder is currently open in Windows Explorer ... The machine is an automated build environment. No one is on the machine. There is a virus scanner that monitors ...\Local\Temp. Can the temp folder be moved to ensure virus scanning isn't impacting the build? If the release has been corrupted ... Instructions suggest cleaning the release folder. Every automated build in our environment starts with a clean release folder.

I have multiple SAB builds reporting similar symptoms, all on Assembly custom actions. This started after upgrading to IS 2018.

NuGet packages need to be installed manually by including the DLLs in you own MSI. You would place them in the same folder as your binary or EXE. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/server-management-objects-smo/installing-smo

After upgrading to 2018 SAB this ISM no longer builds. These are custom assembly actions built AnyCPU. The DLL and clr file are present at the path indicated. No intentional changes were made other than converting the ISM to IS 2018. How can we diagnose this problem? ISDEV : error -7141: An unexpected error occurred embedding file C:\Builds\1016\O\E\src\Source\Utilities\tools\bin\release\ISTools.dll into C:\Builds\1016\O\E\src\Source\InstallShield\E\Std\Interm\_AC87EF3426D8E5FBFC30F254503BB5D5.clr [Edit: after removing dead code from the assembly the error moved to a dependency of the assembly. The error is the same but it complains that the dependency can't be added.]

Had the same issue but only on an application that used the uninstall shortcut option. Apparently IS generates a bad property for the shortcut it creates when you choose that setting. Manually editing the shortcut solved the build problem.

None of the prerequisites we've used were updated for Windows Server 2016 support. We've had to manually update everything.

We have custom prerequisites that need to install when the operating system is Server 2016. Server 2016 does not appear in the list of operating system conditions. What is the prerequisite condition for installing on Server 2016?

Microsoft defined their policy in 2013 as described in the following link: http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2013/11/12/sha1-deprecation-policy.aspx Specifically: "Code Signing Certificates For code signing certificates, Windows will stop accepting SHA1 code signing certificates without time stamps after 1 January 2016. SHA1 code signing certificates that are time stamped before 1 January 2016 will be accepted until such time when Microsoft decides SHA1 is vulnerable to pre-image attack." It isn't clear to me exactly what Microsoft's policy where code signing is concerned but their intent is clear enough: stop using SHA-1 if you can. The bottom line is that SHA-1 is weak so its use is deprecated wherever possible.

InstallShield appears to use the default SHA-1 when signing. How is this set to the newer standard? I don't see the digest type listed in the signing options. Signtool.exe supports /fd SHA256, for example. I read somewhere that Microsoft stops support for SHA-1 on January 1, 2016.
