Software Signing
I am just asking for advice or
assistance. For the first time I am getting this error when I run the software: -
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign bin\Debug\app.publish\SymbolicSigns.exe. SignTool Error: No certificates were found that met all the given criteria. SymbolicSigns
I unticked the signing tab in my project properties to get around this error. I do not want to purchase a certificate at this stage. Will users get hazardous messages while installing this software?

Re: Software Signing
jdelano,
I do apologise for the insufficient info.
I used vb.net with visual Studio for the software.
After I got this error message whereby the installation is searching for a Security Certificate, I did the following: -
Poject Properties.
I went to the Signing Tab
I Unchecked "Sign the ClickOnce manifests".
Now the Application is installing. I do not want to purchase a certificate at this stage. Will users get hazardous messages while installing this software?
Regards
Kobus

I think they will get a message. I forget the wording, but it's easy enough to get around. Still, it might scare people.
My usual boring signature: Nothing

Shaggy Thank You. I do not want to scare people with my software. I think it could be a problem if they get unfavorable pop-up messages. I did untick it as I explained. I have installed it on my computer with no messages. I will test it on a few others as well.
Regards

It seems to me that I did this and the first time I published the app I received a message, but after that it went away. It has been awhile so maybe I'm mistaken.

Thank You. I will still test it on a few computers, but it appears the uncheck of the Sign the ClickOnce manifests might be working.
