"Unknown Publisher"

I built a project in VS NET 2005 and used the "Publish" process to create an installation package to install from a CD. When I run the install and get to the "Application Install - Security Window" it always shows the Publisher as "Unknown Publisher" even though I have the company name in the Publisher Name section of the Publish Options settings.

How can I get it to show the company name instead of "Unknown Publishers"

Thanks Daniel. I'll pursue that.

I am hitting this problem also when installing a CAB file on a WMv5 device. I have signed the CAB but the device still says unknown publisher. The root for our certificate is already installed on the device.

Ideas

Thanks.

You need to sign your application with a certificate. If you didn't specify one, Visual Studio will create a test certificate for you, which will be displayed as Unknown Publisher. To avoid this, you'll need to get a certificate from a certificate authority (CA).
