Signing Unsigned InstallShield Files Using Prepare Files Event
Project:
This information applies to the following project types:
The Prepare Files Event setting on the Events tab for a release in the Releases view under the Media enables users to invoke their own custom script to sign all the internal files generated during InstallShield build process. This is useful, when users want to configure the signing out of InstallShield by executing their own scripts or executables.
The Prepare Files Event command is called after the InstallShield internal support files have been prepared, before streaming these files to MSI or Setup.exe file during a project build.
While building any project, the Prepare Files Event command is called twice for the InstallScript MSI project, but once for all other projects. Unsigned InstallShield files location while building the following InstallShield projects:
