So from a project view and Digital Signatures Dialogue, where abouts do you store the password in the project once the setting has been enabled?
This is because our build process is automated.

I have successfully (manually hit the build button) entered the password manually during build and it ...

That's ok, i found the problem a couple of days ago. It was specifically to do with a Custom action running at Uninstall time.
Based on Powershell - example below. This has been disabled and the uninstall is working normally and leaving new custom files alone now. :)

It's not resolved yet Catalin. I'm unable to share the aip and install file due to it's business rules.

I guess i could try to be clearer:

The installer does the install and produce a number of folders (such as Folder1, Folder2, Folder 3 and Folder 4) with files inside that support our application ...

Hi Catalin,

I was able to achieve a solution for copying the files and also removing the files during uninstall by using custom actions.
Note that installer won't automatically pull the copied files out during uninstall as they were not put there by the installers normal process.
By default they ...

Currently our installer is around 1GB in size. We want to reduce this by copying a file at install time from one location to three additional locations.
The file is 150Mb in size so potentially by not carrying it 4 times inside the installer then we could reduce the installer by 450Mb.

So in order ...

Please note, i'm using 'Archive installation files using LZMA compression' in the Builds section of the installer.

When i switch it to CAB then it looks ok but i don't want to use CAB.

Until recently when we wanted to extract the MSI file from the EXE installer file we would simply do this at the command line
and it would be deposited in the folder of choice. This is useful for customisation and testing the installers.
