We sign only what we make and own. There is a school of thought in IP law that signing is equivalent to branding and amounts to an appropriation of a third party's software product and is a kin to redistributing it under your name without authorization. This is very far from a settled area of l

A signature doesn't just say "this is something I wrote" though. Authenticode *should* be used to ensure that what you have provided to your customers hasn't been modified in any way (malicious or not). Authenticode also assists with code getting around annoying anti-virus behaviour as well. W

Assuming we are using the WixUI_FeatureTree UI sequence, how can I define my features (multi-level) such that none of them are selected for installation by default? This works, but I wonder if it is a poor choice...(setting the rootfeature's level to '2')?

I have a MaskedEdit control that can either be blank or filled in. If blank then next button will continue, but if any characters are entered then I only want it to continue if all the required characters are filled in. So is there some built in method to validate that all characters have been fill
