Digital Signatures for One-Click Install Installations
InstallShield 2024
When an end user runs a One-Click Install installation, the setup player (Setup.ocx) needs to verify the digital signatures for following files:
| • | Setup.ocx |
| • | Setup.exe |
| • | Data1.hdr |
| • | ISSetup.dll |
If any of those files are unsigned or the signature is corrupted, the setup player displays a single prompt to inform the end user that the signature could not be verified. If all files are properly signed and your certificate is not yet always trusted, the setup player displays a prompt to ask the end user to authorize it (similar to the one that is displayed when you run an executable file that you downloaded).
InstallShield signs the Setup.ocx file for you. The certificate that is used to sign the Setup.exe, the Data1.hdr, and ISSetup.dll files must match. This happens automatically if you select the options for signing the Setup.exe file and the media header.
