I have installed my windows forms application setup on a windows 7 machine. The shortcut for the application appears on the desktop. When I click on this shortcut the Windows 7 unknown publisher warning appears although I have signed my exe with a security certificate. During installation the publisher name appears fine. But when I execute the app using the shortcut the warning always says "Unknown Publisher". I have used Visual Studio installer setup to create the setup.exe for my application. Is there any way that I can put my company name in place of the unknown publisher ?
Found the solution. Had to sign the project output in Appname\obj\x86\Debug folder and then add in to the Visual Studio Installer setup project and then build the setup project.
