I distribute my app with an exe from Aspell (included with Gary James'
JSpell) which is not yet code signed.
What problems, if any, might be caused by this situation in a Vista
deployment?
Thanks!

Lynn,
It "should" not cause a problem. I don't know how this .exe from Aspell is
used. If it displays an elevation dialog under Vista, the elevation dialog
is an orange box. This turns into a "friendly" blue dialog if the .exe is
code signed.

Lynn,
I've made this comment a long time ago (I think<g>), but why not just sign
it yourself (like any other EXE in the install) and be done with it?
After all YOU are distributing it with YOUR product as a "trusted" add-on,
so as far as the customer is concerned - YOU are on the hook if it causes
problems<vbg>.
To me it makes more sense to do that and not have any issues with it on
your Vista installs...
JAT...

Thanks Charles.
Seems like a reasonable option but since I'm not familiar with all the code
signing rules I was exploring options. For example would the author have
some objection. Just wondering.
But I believe signed is better than not signed.

Maybe a stupid question, but just to make sure:
SB6 can sign the installer - I still have to sign my exe(s) 'manually'. Is
that the correct interpretation?
Peter
Peter,
No :) SB6 can code-sign both your installer *and* the application files.
It can also embed a manifest into your application file(s) to make your
application Vista-aware.
Does this help?

Absolutely, that's good news! (although I may be the only one to think it's
new <g>)

Does it automatically code-sign the application files when
code-signing the installer, or is there a 2nd place I have to do
something to get my application files signed?
Does code-signing modify my application's .exe files?
