Hi. This might be a stupid question, but I'm totally new to this stuff.

If I tell SB to embed a vista-aware manifest and to code-sign my app,
will it also automatically embed and sign the setup.exe it produces? Is
that necessary?

Thanks,
Jim

If you tell SetupBuilder to embed a Vista-aware manifest and to code-sign
your application file(s) then it will only do this on your application
file(s).

SetupBuilder 6 automatically embeds a Vista-aware manifest into your
setup.exe (default is "requireAdministrator"). You have to enable "Add a
Digital Signature" to code-sign the installer.
