Developing for Vista

Expand Post »
Does anyone know a source dealing with what is now required to get your application to install and run on Vista and avoid being blocked with the "Unknown Publisher" warning.
It seems for 64 bit Vista my app simply won't run.
I use an older version of Visual C++ to compile.

Hell do I know?
All I did was 30 seconds of googling to come to that conclusion,
I'm sure you can figure it out if you put your mind to it.

The same way you would do for a web site, apply for one from a trusted CA, buy it, and sign your stuff with your key.

VS2005 and 2008 have this functionality built in.
