OK, thanks for the quick reply, as always 🙂 . I think I’ll then wait for the next release, not to change too many things in the existing installer.

Hello, I currently have a standard installer project for a driver package which performs a lot of custom actions. The installer also writes registry entries (these have been added in the “Write registry entries” menu of the PB IDE) and creates several shortcuts (also through the “Create...

We didn’t see any additional error code (besides the “-1” which is general, I guess) and there is no log from previous install since we always start from a clean situation. Here is the test sequence: The computer boots and starts Windows 8.1 The task scheduler launches our Paquet Builder...

Actually, on our automatic test systems, we do not have any antivirus program running, even Windows Defender is completely disabled for tests performances reasons (antivirus and anti-spyware). The only active protection is Windows Firewall, I don’t know if this one can interfere. Do you know...

Hello, This problem has still been observed with Paquet Builder 3.6.1. Moreover, it is also present under Windows 10. Any chance this could be fixed in version 3.7? Thanks.

I read that PB is using GSignCode, which I don’t know, for code signing. Actually, we are using SignTool from the WDK to sign our drivers. Here is what can be done according to the WDK version: With SignTool from WDK 7.1: SHA-1 code signing with Authenticode timestamping works under Windows 7...

Hello, We are currently using PB 3.5.1 and need to be able to digitally sign our packages using SHA-256 and RFC 3161 timestamp. For some reasons, our build server must run under Windows Server 2008 R2 (i.e. Windows 7). In the PB documentation I read the following statement: “By default, time...

Hello, Is there an easy way to set the “Run as administrator” bit in a shortcut created through Paquet Builder? I have found a tricky and hacky way to do it through a VB script, but I think a built-in solution in Paquet Builder could be nice and useful. There is a clean way to do it in C++...

Hello, Good news, thanks! Is there any chance that it is also related to the following issue, which still occurs in 3.3.1? Non-systematic "Could not generate uninstaller" error on Windows 8.1 Paquet Builder Indeed, we’d like to test it on our build system. How can we get it?

Hello, We got the following error (only for the second time) when building our Paquet Builder 3.3.1 project with the command-line builder: “error while linking uninstaller stub” (exit code 7) Our build system uses Windows 2008 R2 and the PB command-line builder is launched by buildbot (using a...

Hello, From time to time, when launching the installation of our software package (in silent-mode) on Windows 8.1, the following message box pops up at the end of the installation: “Error: could not generate uninstaller”. Nevertheless, the Uninst.exe and Uninst.log files have been created and...

Hello, Since version 3.2, running PBCmdCompiler.exe from the Windows Task Scheduler causes a reset of PB’s project default settings. Consequently, subsequent command-line builds fail with the following error: “FATAL ERROR: Could not initialize taskbar. Error: -2147467263” When launching the PB...

Then I guess that chances to get it fixed someday on this OS are rather weak, since support ends next July :). Thanks for your research and the workaround. In the meantime, I have used the following one: if %OSVER% = 10, use %COMDESKTOPDIR% then replace "Desktop by “Documents” in the string.

Yes, the folder does exist, but it looks like it is a special one: explorer displays it as “Shared Documents” but it appears in the full path as “Documents”. Anyway, this is the same behavior under Windows XP for which the problem does not occur.

Hello, On Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x86 Standard Edition (I didn’t check for other variants), the %COMMYDOCDIR% global variable value is an empty string. The %COMAPPDATADIR% and %MYDOCDIR% global variables have correct values on the same OS. The expected default value is “C:\Documents and...
