Hi all
We are using Final builder version 7.0 to build our projects and to generate the installs for our product suite. The installs are developed using Installshield 2012. In the build machine (where final builder runs), Installshield 2012 Stand alone version is installed (IsCmdBld.exe is the command for the installshield tasks).
There are several installshield tasks in our finalbuilder script (some for building merge modules and the rest to build installs for the various product modules). All our install projects (except merge modules) compiles with the following three warnings related to software identification tag (new feature introduced in IS 2012).
ISDEV : warning -7235: InstallShield could not create the software identification tag because the Unique ID setting in the General Information view is empty.
ISDEV : warning -7235: InstallShield could not create the software identification tag because the Tag Creator ID setting in the General Information view is empty.
ISDEV : warning -7255: Only .pfx files can be used to digitally sign a software identification tag file.
Why these warnings are still raised though we have set the "Use software identification tag" property to false, is another question to be posted in the installshield forums, but here is our issue with Final builder.
When running the final builder tasks, some of the install tasks are flagged as error. But the build log says ZERO errors and only the three warnings above and the installs are also created OK in the output folder. Interestingly this does not happen with all install tasks, some of the others run through as Completed.
Also note that the "Treat warnings as errors" option is not selected for any of the install tasks.
For now we have checked the "Ignore failure" flag on the tasks that fail, so that the script runs un-interrupted.
Just wanted to cross check if anyone else has come across the same or a similar issue.
Sincerely
Praveen Kumar
This looks like an installshield issue :
