Exe to be installed is deleted during compile

[NewsArchive]

Using SB7 or latest SB8, the executable that is to be installed is deleted
during compile. Part of the compiler text is below. The application has been
digitally signed following creation in C8, but I believe the message below
is to do with the installer exe.

The file to install is called milnm7.exe but it keeps being deleted. What am
I doing wrong?
Thanks
Nev

If I turn off Adding a Digital Signature it compiles without error.
Hope this helps

Nev,

> What am I doing wrong?

What you are doing wrong here is that you did not specify the .spc/.pvk
certificate files and you are trying to code-sign via SignCode.exe. So I
assume that you have defined the .pfx file but forgot to switch to
signtool.exe (Tools | Options... | File Locations tab | Digital Signature).

Hope this helps.

BTW, the compiler does not delete your files (e.g. milnm7.exe). Perhaps
your anti-virus scanner does this.

Thank you Friedrich. That was exactly it.
