Hello,
I'm packaging an application to be deployed via internet download.
I'm using the Package Wizard and everything is running smoothly, I'm not new
into this.
To avoid users the pain of going through all the scaring windows messages
about security issue I have created a self-signed certificate and I have
signed the vba code (lot of !!!!) with this certificate.
To test my application installation and functioning I'm going to use a clean
Xp sp 2. I mean I have a machine with just Windows XP sp2 installed and
nothing else, not even windows updates since I want to test the application
in the worst scenario.
Now... from my past experiences I knew that the very first time you launch
the applications the security warnings will pop up but in the last oft hem
there should be an option saying trust publisher, or something similar... By
trusting you will install the certificate and you are done! Form now on no
more security warnings... and not functioning.
This time this option will never shows up. You get the warnings, and you
will continue to get them any time you launch the application: no way you can
get rid of them by installing the certificate.
Why?
All other times I have tested my application on a windows XP machine fully
updated. So I'm guessing it has something to do with some sort of update.
Does anybody know which? (if I'm guessing correctly...)
Thanks,
Rocco
