We're trying to reproduce the issue here, I'll keep you in touch ;)

That's strange because this error message does not exist anymore in version 2025.1. It existed in previous versions. What is the PC config of your client?

Which version of XLS Padlock are you using?

In your XLS Padlock project settings, have you left the Application Title blank?

My bad, it's the " quote and not the '. procedure StartMyHTTPServer; var portStr: string; portNum: integer; begin portStr := GetGlobalVar("SelectedPort", "8142"); ShowMessage("SelectedPort = " + portStr); // debug portNum := StrToIntDef(portStr, 8142); StartHTTPServer(portNum)...

This is correct HEScript. If it is not working as expected, the problem is almost certainly somewhere else. In the PHP Settings → External HTTP Server page, you must: Check “Enable External HTTP Server”. Uncheck “Start and stop the HTTP server automatically” Please also try: procedure...

OK thanks for the sample, this time we were able to reproduce the problem. We'll study the issue now.

The 3-month uptime kid definitely found an unintended loophole… until the housekeeping patch was applied manually :p

In version 2025.2, the web update process has been significantly revised to prevent such scenarios from occurring, especially with Universal EXE. If you manage to restore code signing (you can now also switch to the standard Microsoft SignTool in XLS Padlock as a workaround), upgrading would be...

Yes, SetSecureWorkbookFilename allows you to enforce the save directory currently displayed. If you provide a full path, the directory will be extracted, and if it exists, it will be used as the default save location.

Unfortunately, in WebView2 (based on Edge/Chromium), sending or overriding the Referer header is currently not fully supported for navigation requests. This is due to security and privacy restrictions, especially when dealing with HTTPS and cross-origin requests. Chromium enforces strict rules...

What you’re describing is absolutely feasible. The script mentioned demonstrates how to start and stop the external server, and you can indeed pass the desired port when starting it. In your case, the process would be as follows: Create a form input or dropdown to allow the user to select or...

Please check if your workbook source file has an opening password and if yes, make sure that you entered it into XLS Padlock.

Thank you for your reply and the instructions. Followed them but in ExeOutput 2025 it's working as expected: Make sure that the PHP source file is encoded as UTF-8: in NotePad++, this command:

Sure, you can do that with HEScript. There is a code sample here about how to do it: https://www.exeoutput.com/help/external-http-server#2-toc-title

No, it's a nice and effective way.

That's strange — nothing changed between versions 2025.1 and 2025.2 regarding code signing. Could this issue be related to something else introduced during the new version's installation?

XLS Padlock 2025.2 Released We are announcing the release of XLS Padlock 2025.2. This update is focused on compatibility for the upcoming Windows 11 25H2 update, an overhauled documentation system, and expanded language support. Key Changes in Version 2025.2 Windows 11 25H2 Compatibility...

That means the certificates are installed without their private keys — so GSignCode (or any signing tool) can’t access a key provider. Moreover, certificate 8 isn't your own certificate, it's the one of Sectigo: so you only have the public cert chain (intermediates/roots), not your actual...

That error usually means the certificate’s private key provider doesn’t match what the signing tool expects. In Windows there are two families: CSP (legacy “CryptoAPI” providers) like “Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider” or vendor CSPs (e.g., eToken Base Cryptographic...
