Hello, how to sign an windows assembly, that means exe? Like here

To not let Windows display error “This application is not signed and can harm your computer” ?

I guess that even if i have Visual C++ project of game, it is project of UE Editor, so it is nonsense to sign it there (and moreover i cant find Signing tab in project properties in Visual Studio Express 2013).

So how to manage this? And same problem applies to exe setup, but thats another story… I am using Inno Setup to create installer.

Thx.

This is probably related, however dont know how to use it yet. One needs probably generate certificate from Microsoft, and i guess its not free.

Hi,

I just did encounter this issue today, The anti-virus and other security application like Windows SmartScan are stopping my windows build to work completely…

I am completly new to the Signing process. I know there is some kind of certificating Authorities that give you private and public key for the signing process. I dont really know how to find such authorities and I know even less how to use such keys…

I will try to make use of the links provided here : How to: Sign an Assembly (Visual Studio) | Microsoft Learn and SignTool.exe (Sign Tool) - .NET Framework | Microsoft Learn
