Problems with code signing

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

Hello,

I have a software that I sign with a trusted certificate from Verisign (both
the assemblies and the MSI packages) following Microsoft recomendations.

In most of the cases I install the software with no problems, but in a
certain number of places, the sofware installation fails. The symptoms are
that the service I use in my software can not be launched (the service
timeout is reached) and consequently the whole installation is aborted.

I have observed that the problem is fixed by simply removing the MSI
signing... :(

Anybody knows some information about this problem? I have read in some
public forums that may be it can be a bug of Microsoft regarding the CLR and
the time it takes to verify the sign of the software. Of course, I do need
signing my code.

Thanks in advance,

Domingo López.
