Signing a QuickPatch Package
InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to QuickPatch projects.
Windows Installer 3.0 and later enables you to create patches that can be installed by non-administrators. Non-administrator QuickPatch packages can be used if strict criteria are met. For example, the base installation that the patch will update must include the certificate that will be used to sign the patch package. To learn about the other criteria that must be met, see Non-Administrator Patches.
Note • With QuickPatch projects, you can digitally sign the patch package and the Update.exe file. If you want to digitally sign individual files—such as your application’s executable files—in your QuickPatch package, you must manually sign them and then add them to your project. You can use SignTool.exe, which is included with the Windows SDK, to manually sign your files.
