Re: ClickOnce - trusted sites (IE)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

Its and online/offline app. It won't install with a test certificate
unless the user tells IE to trust our site. Thats ok for a test
certificate and for out test users - but when it comes down to release
its a problem (our end users are very low tech). So I need to now if
the problem goes away when we buy a certificate (could just buy one
and try - but someone might know it before I spend $170)

Thanks for your help

Are you running it as an online/offline app, or just online?

A certificate certifies that you are who you say you are. When you purchase
a certificate and deploy your application with ClickOnce, it comes up and
says your name as the publisher, instead of "Unknown Publisher".

I believe the user can then say trust you always, and they won't be prompted
any more. I've seen this, but can't remember if it came from ClickOnce or IE
or where.

Hi,

We are planing ClickOnce deployment of a VSTO app. We don't have a
certificate at the moment so we are using VS test certificate. We are
placing installationfiles on the web, and our test/beta users can
install ok BUT they need to manually tell IE to trust our site (VSTO
runs under full trust).

If (or rather when) we buy and use a code signing certicate will this
big problem go away, or will users still have to trust our web site?
