I created windows app with vb 2005, ready to install on a user machine by running application’s setup.exe, I get application warning Application Install Security Warning – Publisher can not be verified. Don’t know any other way to get publisher name to appear.
Was using solution’s property window – Publish/options to set up publisher name and product name, it takes product name, but not publisher name, anybody has an answer for that.

setup.exe question

Ididntdoit is right; a certificate is something that you purchase from a third-party vendor (not Microsoft) and use when publishing/installing your application.
Anyway, you don't need to have one -- as long as your target audience is some small well-known set that trusts you (i.e., they will ignore the warning). (When I create little applets and games for my friends and family, for example, I don't bother about it.) If your customer base is more open-ended, then you might want to look into this some more. The topic at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233806(VS.80).aspx is a good place to start on "How do I " for deployment (see the bottom of that page).

I don't know what that is. I am new in vb 2005. Can you please explain how I can obtain/set up certificate/key for the project
Thank you

Hi, babakl,
All that warning means is that the installer could not prove you are who you say you are. Do you have a certificate/key which is part of the project
