DSA Signature

neSparkle supports DSA signed installers.

In \Demos\AppCast folder there are two appcast.xml files; one with the correct signature and one with wrong signature. The installer is neSparkle-test-app.exe, which is just an empty installer.

To see how DSA signatures work do the following:

• From the neSparkle Project Group, first run the SimpleHTTPServer project in Release configuration. This allows us to experiment with the two appcast files. The server listens to http://localhost:7777
• Then, run the DelphiSparkleExample project
• First select Use Local (DSA Correct) and click to check manually for updates. The appcast will appear with the release notes. Click to install the update. After a while, the installer will start
• Then change the option to Use Local (DSA Wrong). Do the same as in the previous step. After the installer is downloaded, WinSparkle will show an error saying that the signature is invalid
