I changed the setup.exe file in C: Program Files Macrovision IS12 Redist Language Independent i386 But now I get this error: Started signing 110.tmp. Error: Signing Failed. Result = 80070005, (-) ISDEV: error -1027: Failed signing file If I changed the setup file back. There is no error. This doesn't happen before (one year ago). But it's happening now.
Jul 11, 2017 Explains how to create a setup project for a Windows Service application. Microsoft Visual Studio. And how to use a compiled setup project to install.
BTW: Looks like this 'error' doesn't prevent install shield create the final result for me. The Error is just a bogus or something. You really can't change it.
There are some techniques to change the resources of a binary, but it can get difficult. The next best step is to produce your own setup.exe. Setup.exe is a bootstapper. It eventually makes a call to launch your.msi file.
It does many other items such as checking for basic dependencies, etc. There is a sample bootstrapper in the Platform SDK Windows Installer section. You can the can change the setup.exe icon with your own icon. Go to Media-->Release--->Single_EXE_Image select--->select right side tab Setup.exe --->setup.exe icon filr browse -->built.
I've got an icon for one of my applications, which I've embedded in a resource file and is used as the main icon for the application. So far so good. However, I want to use the same icon for the installer project, and for the shortcut that the installer places in the Start Menu. I can set the icon for the installer package itself, but only if I add the icon as an.ico file in the main application folder. The whole point of embedded the icon in a resource file is so that I don't have an ICO file floating around in Program Files. I can't access the resource file from the main project in the installer project - is there some trick that I am missing?
Secondly, even if I include an icon in the main folder, if I set the menu short cut to use it, it doesn't - it shows the standard shortcut icon both in the IDE and in the menu after the program has been installed. Again, am I missing a trick here? I have no time to test it now, but when you browse for an icon you will be presented with a dialog that lets you choose items that will be on the target computer. At the bottom of the dialog is a dropdown that lets you select the file type. If you choose EXE (or possibly DLL), then you primary project output(s) will show. Once you select that you can chose any embedded icon that your project output contains. (What I did not test: If the icons actually show after you installed your software on a test computer.).
