Is Uninstall Code-Signed

[Unregistered]

Hello,

We are currently using the freeware Inno setup. Customers are complaining that under Vista, an "Unknown Publisher" pops up when running the uninstall.

Can Setup Builder uninstall applications be code-signed?

Thanks in advance for a quick answer.

Dan,

Yes, if you Authenticode-sign your installer, the uninstaller will be code-signed as well in SetupBuilder 6.6 Developer Edition. There is no "Unknown Publisher" if your customer executes the uninstall application.

Does this help?

Freidrich,

Thanks for the quick response and the good news :)

Another question. What is the total file overhead of the installation (including a standard uninstall application)? InnoSetup's overhead (footprint) is 500 KB.

Dan,

The SetupBuilder installer footprint (installer size without any files) is only 140 KB. It includes the GUI wizards, uninstaller, decompression library and script engine! And the best is the installer has absolutely no reliance on 3rd party runtime modules, thus freeing your users from having to endure a multi-megabyte runtime download just to install your software.

Again, only 140 KB!

Did I already mention that SetupBuilder provides advanced features such as Vista and WIndows Server 2008 (Longhorn) support, Web Installation and Web Update (live update) for creating dynamic Internet-based installations, Windows x64 (64-bit) support, Integrated Visual Debugger, multi-language support, customizable Uninstaller, MultiVersion file updater (multi-version patch), Delayed File Install support, Windows Services support, Serial Number Generator, built-in support for Authenticode Digital Signatures, HTTP Post and File Downloading functions, AutoUpdate Generator, Online Registration, Serial Number Generator, Dynamic Scanning, Zip and Unzipping, MapDrive and NetShare functions, and much much more ;)

Great! Thank you for the information.

One final question: is it possible to compile a silent install that can be executed without having to specify a /S (silent switch) and runtime?

Dan,

Yes, no problem.

General Information -> Generator Settings -> Generate Silent Install

This will compile a native silent install.
