In some cases, you might want to determine whether the user launched your setup from the setup launcher or from the MSI dat…

InstallAnywhere Flat Certificate Exports for Windows Signing

A “flat” certificate, without the certificate chain path included, is required for signing with InstallAnywhere. In order to sign a Windows target using InstallAnywhere, it is necessary for the certificate to be exported flat. In other words, the certificate chain path cannot be included. This is normally a default option, so it must be disabled. If the certificate chain path is included, the builder will report: “Code signing failed with followi…
