I am trying to do a very simple and fundamental task.

 

Pick a .NET assembly, supply the required xml file, then hit the build button.

It fails with the message:

For 2010 style

Win32Exception  CryptUiWizDigitalSign

 

For 2008 style,

the result code -1073741819 is returned.

No extra information available, no strack trace etc.

I cannot use the product at all, and is a showstopper issue for me :(

 

The assembly i used is a very simple assembly - just to test it, and it is not obfuscated, etc.

Can someboyd help.

  I apologise for any inconvenience this problem may have caused you. 

  If possible can you send a support request to support@innovasys.com and attach a copy of your project and assembly that you are documenting from (as well as any dependent assemblies)?

  Thanks.

  Just a couple of initial ideas for what might be causing these problems - 

  The CryptUiWizDigitalSign can be caused by not having an internet connection - as the signing process necessary for Microsoft Help Viewer output requires an internet connection.

  The -1073741819 can be caused by the Microsoft Html Help 1.x Compiler failing because of a known bug it has with long file names. This can be prevented by setting the "Generate shortened alias filenames" option on the Output Settings page in the Document! X Build Profile editor.
