Hi,

I am generating an installation file using Installshield Professional 2.03 (very old I guess). Inside this file I have a componet that requires a key for the end user. When trying to install my software with a Janus component, users receive the following message:
"This application is using an unregistered component from Janus Systems."

Is there a possibility to sign this component in the moment I am creating it in Installshield?

I have the key for the installation when I use Janus in development environment, but wouldn't like my user to have to install it and also to have the key for the third-party software (Janus).

Thank you in advance.

No, I don't think that's possiblke in this version. You would have to sign the file before you package it into your setup.

"unsigned" and "unregistered" are not the same. If a key or licnese is required to redistribute this component you probably need ot ship it to your customer. You need to ask Janus (or check their documentation).

Thanks for your message.

Now I am getting another message only in Windows 7:
"Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer"?

Any clue on how do I remove this message?

Thank you in advance.

That must be the User Account Control dialog.

That's part of the Windows Security, and although it is possible to disable it probably your clients/users won't want to do it.

I recommend you get used to it wink.gif
