Digitally Signed Wix4 Bundle Installer does not Install the Binaries

[rajanbabu033]

We have created wix Bundle Installer. This is digitally signed.

This internally has following packages,

1. Dot Net Installation package(Exe)

2. 3rd party OpenTapWix package(msi) -> This is digitally signed

3. Our Application Installation Package(msi) ->This is digitally signed

When I try to double click the bundle installer and click Install button, it try to open the Open Dialog instead of installing

Attached the log file and screenshot. Kindly help here.

Note : If bundle Installer is not digitally signed, then Installation is success.

Sounds like you did not sign the bundle correctly. Double-check the documentation and make sure you followed all of the steps.

[rajanbabu033]

Yes. Following steps helps.
1.Detach BundleEngine from Bundle
2.Signed BundleEngine
3.Attach BundleEngine with Bundle
4.Signed Bundle now
we need to sign bundle Engine and bundle separately which works fine. I did it manually and works fine. But do we have any clean document to do this in build environment. We can not use wix.exe in build environment as using Wix4.

Yes. Where have you looked so far?

Any good document to properly sign the bundle installer in wix4 environment in the build pipeline?

I was looking into https://wixtoolset.org/docs/tools/signing/

here not sure how below code detaching and signing BundleEngine. Also not sure how it gets SignBundleEngine.FullPath variable.

There is a target that calls the SignBundleEngine target after calling another target to detach the bundle engine from the bundle. That target creates the SignBundleEngine item(s) for you.

A target that runs after SignBundleEngine reattaches the bundle engine to the bundle and sets the SignBundle item(s) for you, then calls the SignBundle target. All that can be found in the wix.sdk nuget package.
