I faced a problem very similar to defined here, i.e. Whenever I signed the Bootstrapper, it failed to do the installation with following errors in log:
Using solution defined there, and some guidance from WixToolset insignia page , I'm just summarizing the procedure here:
To solve this, before signing

Using solution defined there, and some guidance from WixToolset insignia page , I'm just summarizing the procedure here:
While building the msi:
- If you are building separate cab files, then first
sign the cab files
and doInsignia -im MySetup.msi
. Insignia will update your MSI with the digital signature information of its associated external cabs. The file will be updated in-place. Thensign your MSI
. - If its only one MSI, then
simply sign the MSI
.
Signing Bootstrapper:
Bootstrapper actually containsEngine.exe
inside and if this is not signed with same certificate, then after you sign your Bootstrapper.exe
, it would fail to install and you may have to face problem defined in the beginning of this post, even if your MSI is properly signed.To solve this, before signing
Bootstrapper.exe
, using Insignia.exe
, do following:- First extract your
Engine.exe
from yourBootstrapper.exe:
insignia -ib Bootstrapper.exe -o Engine.exe
- Now sign
Engine.exe
and put it back toBootstrapper.exe,
and then you can sign theBootstrapper_Signed.exe
.
Engine.exe
, it would show a dialog with signing information.But if you try to execute unsigned Bootstrapper_Signed.exe
as Administrator, it would show "Unknown Publisher". That's why it is recommended to sign Bootstrapper_Signed.exe
as well.
