Hi All,
What all steps are involved in Signing Windows Mobile 5.0 binaries (.exe / .dll /.lib) to avoid Publisher: Unknown message popup on device. I had a look at the following blog also but still I'm not very clear what all I need to do http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/12/17/security_model_faq.aspx
I do have valid certificate (root as well as client) that I installed on device and signed with my binaries with its client certificate resulting in same popup message.
Can you guys point me to some good link that will provide me detailed steps
Thanks
Seemit

The most misunderstood about certificate and code signing is that certificate must be put into a special store, not the "traditiona" store for SSL. Make sure you are using the SDK tools and provision the certificate into "Privileged Execution Trust Authorities". Read my post on microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer for details.

Hi Seemit,
Take a look at the information here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/wmsecurity.asp
Are you sure that your cert was installed correctly to the device's root How did you do this Try querying the device with provisioning xml to ensure that your personal cert was properly installed to the correct certificate store. There are 3 stores, so you might have installed the cert to the wrong store.
In general, you need to establish an account with Verisign or Geotrust to sign your binaries with the Mobile2Market certificate instead of your own certificate. You may have a valid personal cert, but if it doesn't chain to one of the root certs on the device, it will still be untrusted resulting in the Publisher: Unknown warning.

Thanks Mel for ur valuable input. I do have valid personal certificate but its not chanined to any of existing Verisign or Geotrust certificates. I'll further follow up procuring valid certificate.
Thanks
