Want to stop your installations being from an unknown publisher according to Window 7’s UAC?<\/p>\n
Well, if you’ve got a code signing certificate, you’ll want to sign your MSI files. You can of course just sign your files manually using the signtool utility as follows:<\/p>\n
signtool.exe sign \/a\u00a0“path to your msi<\/em>“<\/p>\n The location of signtool varies depending on which version of Visual Studio you have installed. You can do a search for it, or you can just run it via the “Visual Studio Command Prompt” shortcut in your start menu (under Microsoft Visual Studio\/Visual Studio Tools)<\/p>\n Obviously that gets annoying pretty quickly if you’re compiling it in Visual Studio all the time, so instead\u00a0just add the call to signtool as a Post Build script within your Setup project:<\/p>\n “C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\bin\\signtool.exe” sign \/a\u00a0\/d “My Application<\/em>” “$(BuiltOuputPath)”<\/p>\n Make sure the path to signtool is correct. Also, change “My Application<\/em>” to the name of your application – this appears as the program name in the UAC prompt that appears. If you don’t set it to a value, the default will be the name if the MSI that Windows Installer assigns (which you can assume will be some ugly hex number)<\/p>\n You can also add a link to additional information about your product by using the \/du parameter with signtool – but I’ll leave that to you to work out…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Want to stop your installations being from an unknown publisher according to Window 7’s UAC?
