Code Signing Question

[NewsArchive]

Anyone,

I know I'm going to feel pretty silly after someone tells me the
answer to this but I have a question about code signing. I have a
Comodo code signing certificate and I use SetupBuilder to code sign my
files as the installer is created. This is all working great, no
problems. Here is my issue/question:

If you run my installer in Vista the UAC prompt appears as expected
but the two lines displayed are:

KEM-SOFT
KEM-SOFT

What I would like it to say is:

This Apps Name
KEM-SOFT

It seems like every other installer I use that is properly signed
appears as my second example above. So clearly everyone knows
something that I don't. How do I change the first line to the program
name when I code sign my various apps with SetupBuilder 6.5?

Thanks!

In your SB project, on the Digital Signature tab where you're giving info to
sign the installer, put "This Apps Name" in the field labeled "Descriptive
Name".

Jane,

Thanks for the suggestion. I do have "This Apps Name" in there, but
it does not display when I test my installer.

Hi Kelly,

When checking your install are you actually executing the installer or are
you right clicking on the exe file and checking the information displayed on
the "Digital Signature" tab. The latter is where you will see the
information.

Lee,

The "right click" digital signature properties are all OK, just as I
would expect. I'm talking about the Vista UAC warning dialog that
comes up when the installer requests escalation to admin authority.
There are two lines displayed, in every product I've seen the first
line is the product name and the second line is the company name. In
my case both lines are the company name which looks wrong.

Thanks!

Dunno, Kelly.

Attached pics are of my SB params and the Vista screen that results.

Jane,

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

I knew when I figured this out I would feel pretty silly. For the
record I do. :)

I kept looking at the parameters I was passing to the code-sign
command in the script where it sign's the EXE. I wasn't smart enough
to figure out I needed to look where the *installer* code singing
parms were.

And now your installer is "singing" a different tune?? <BG>
