Code sign error-1

[Unregistered]

I have two installs that are pretty large. When I compile the script every 2 out of three tries for some reason the signcode displays behind the compiler screen and stays there (information is not passed to the screen). If I hit cancel from the screen I receive the error #1. I can then immediately compile again and it would compile fine. I am using SetupBuilder 7.7 Developer edition on a (Ugh)Vista computer. Has anyone else seen this?

Hello,

This has nothing to do with SetupBuilder. Your are using the Microsoft SIGNCODE.EXE tool to code-sign your installs / files. This tool does not support password passing via the command line and so a PKEY.EXE helper tool has to "inject" the password for you into the password field. Because "something" on your machine steels focus away from the SIGNCODE prompt, the password injection fails in your case.

If you can't find out what steels focus, then the only option you have is to switch to SIGNTOOL.EXE (in combination with a .pfx) and you are done. Microsoft SIGNTOOL.EXE supports password passing via the command line.

Hope this helps.
