pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT5 May 2015 00:01:39 Z4 May 2015 17:23:03 ZAlthough I have been a Windev user since version 8, I am a recent owner of Windev 20, and have begun converting various applications to the new version. Naturally, in this age of rampant malware, I want my customers to know that they are installing and running genuine software and not altered versions. So, my company obtained and is using signing certificates on all our software. In the Windev installer creation wizard, there are two places where the software can be signed. One pertains to the installer, and the other to the application itself. In the installer wizard, I have indicated that I want to sign in both places. When the installation program runs, it properly displays my company's information. However, when the application itself starts up, it lists the origin as "Unknown Publisher". I thought at first that perhaps the "WPF" installation descriptor file had been corrupted, so I tried several times to start with a fresh version. I also tried several different applications. All with the same incorrect result. The strange thing is that (as you know) the executable application file is re-compiled each time an installation program is created. When one examines the characteristics of this file, it is listed as a signed executable. If you copy it into the target installation directory, the certificate information is properly displayed. But when you install it with the installation program, the certificate information no longer displays. This behavior is consistent across several of my applications. Any ideas about how to solve this mystery?30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/51925-signing-certificate-unrecognized/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)Michel GARCIApcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/51925-signing-certificate-unrecognized-51930/read.awp5 May 2015 00:01:39 ZHi Tom, if it was working on previous WD1X, and you had no problems, then it might be a bug in the new WX20 version.
