Unknown publisher (Vista)
-
I've just tested my own app on Vista and got a security warning that it is from an unknown publisher and has no valid digital signature. What do I need to do to avoid this warning?

When installing a driver yeah. I thought he was running his app, but yeah I guess he could be doing that too as it could be part of the app.

It's just a standalone MFC exe and doesn't install anything. It's also the same with many other apps. I've read on the MSDN blogs that you need to digitally sign the exe, but I didn't spend much attention to that. I've also run into a problem with MSLU/Unicows, the unicows.dll should only be loaded on Win9x systems and that worked well so far (with 95, 98, 2000 and XP), but on Vista the loader also tries to load the DLL.

You can get a digital certificate to sign your exes from Comodo, which is way cheaper than Verisign.

Doesn't happen for any of my unsigned apps on Vista. Maybe you downloaded it from an "untrusted" network/internet location? Then even XP SP2 shows that warning. Here on CP are some tools to view NTFS ADS (Alternate data streams), try to see if Windows has marked the .exe as untrusted.

You're right, I've run it from a shared folder within VMWare, doesn't happen if I run it from a local drive.

Throw in the towel and become a hitman. That's my plan, at least...

Do you get the warning every time or just the first time you run an app? I'm about to deploy an enterprisey app and I'm wondering if I'll have to deal with this (and I thought I was almost done :rolleyes:). Mark

Either that, or become such a famous author that even Vista recognizes the name.:-D
