RE: [Flashcoders] certificate problem in a desktop application
I'm personally a fan of InnoSetup (a la Google). It's well supported with lots of example, the mailing list is extremely helpful and looks like InstallShield setup's. !k -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julien Vignali Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 12:56 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] certificate problem in a desktop application Céline, Take a look at the Nullsoft Installer (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) which is a powerful professional scriptable install system.

Re: [Flashcoders] certificate problem in a desktop application
I don't use browsers because it's supposed to be an .exe in the end, but interestingly, I have tested on both Firefox and IE, and I have noticed that when I install permanently the certificate with Firefox, then, when I run the .exe there is no communication with the https page, and there's no communication when I complile the code and run it from flash, whereas, when I use IE and install the certificate, then the .exe works and also the swf compiled and tested withing the flash environment. so that I must conclude that the certificate used in Flash and IE use the same store, or something similar. But not Firefox and Flash.
