FDI IDE Setup

FDI IDE Prerequisites Setup is now capable to be installed even if VC++2017 Redistributables are already installed

FDI IDE Prerequisites are now mandatory to be installed before FDI Package IDE Setup

Setup does no longer create 2 folders “FDI\IDE\Documentation\PNO” and “FDI\IDE\Documentation\FCG” but only one folder “FDI\IDE\Documentation”. “User Guide” and “Quickstart Guide” PDF placed there are equipped with updated Layout (FDT/FCG/OPC/PNO)

Sandbox settings: Setup now skips the validation of the UIP user account settings if the user skips these settings.

Quickstart Guide PDF file updated to r1.4.1 (“FDI Package IDE Quick Start Guide_r1.4.1_final.pdf”)

User manual PDF file updated to r2.1.3 (“FDI Package IDE User Guide r2.1.3_final.pdf”)

Signing Tool

FDI_PACKAGE_SIGNING_TOOL.EXE graphical interface:added support for passing intermediate certs to fdiNotary

fdiNotary.exe commandline tool:added option for SHA256 signature. Default is still SHA1.added option for inclusion of intermediate certificatesintegrated validation via the fdiPackageVerifier DLLmade the "sign" command skip the FDI Registration Certificatemade the "sign" command call the fdiPackageVerifierDll with the option to accept 0 signatures

fdiPackageVerifier.dll:Changed the SHA1 signature validation "error" to a "warning"

Note: There is a bug related to specifying the signing certificate by serial number. To work around this, use the SHA1 thumbprint instead to identify the signing certificate by specifying the "--sha1" option rather than the "--serial" option”
2653fdiPackageVerifier.dll is changed to more robust behavior, when validation of FDI package ends in an error.This allows deployment of packages even in case of an error.
See also section 6.3 How to deploy a package if the import of the package leads to an Error of these document.
