NSIS installer and Windows Vista
Hello

Did anyone find a solution not to get the Vista "unknown publisher" warning when lanching the setup ?

Thank you

You have to sign the installer with a digital certificate. That requires you to buy one from VeriSign or such.

Hello Kishik

Thank you for your answer !
Do you have any experience of how to sign the installer once you buy the certificate. Does Verysign porovide a tool ?

There's a script available for signing the uninstaller. You can figure out from it how to sign the installer as well. Basically, you call signtool.exe which comes with Visual Studio, the Platform SDK or a separate download.
