on our build machine (standalone rather than full IS installation) do not fix the problem and the error is causing issues with our automated builds. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this problem? AllenTuggle09-26-2011, 09:47 AMHas anyone found a solution to this issue, I have the exact same issue, it happens with my nightly build, Very random, and all I have to do is kick off another build and it normally works just fine. The problem is the nightly build takes 2 hours and runs at night so we don't waste time running it during the day, so kicking it off again puts all the other builds behind by 2 hours.

Thank you, Monday, April 09, 2007 10:44 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote It turns out the problem is when signing EXE files created by IExpress. If you create a CAB file with IExpress you can reserve space in the file for the digital signature; when you create the EXE file - there's probably no space for the signature!

This build error occurs if you http://stackoverflow.com/tags/installshield/new are trying to build a Suite/Advanced UI installation that includes a sideloading app package (.appx) but InstallShield cannot read the app package's manifest file. This may occur if you are trying to build on a Windows XP or an error Windows Server 2003 system. The ability to create and build a Suite/Advanced UI installation that includes a sideloading app package (.appx) requires Windows Vista or later or Windows Server 2008 or later on the machine that has InstallShield or the Standalone Build. To resolve this error, remove the .appx package from the Packages view, or build your release on Windows Vista or later or on Windows Server 2008 or later. -7309 No certificate file is selected in an error occurred the Packages view for sideloading app '%1'. If you include a sideloading app package (.appx) in a Suite/Advanced UI project but do not specify a certificate file for the package in the Certificate File setting in the Packages view, InstallShield generates this warning at build time.

To resolve this warning, consider using the Certificate File setting in the Packages view to specify the package's .cer file. -7308 Suite/Advanced UI installations do not support sideloading app packages (.appx) that are built for only ARM processors. This error occurs if you include an .appx package that targets the ARM processor architecture in a Suite/Advanced project.
