Signing doesn't eliminate the need for elevation when a package needs elevation -- it just provides more information to the elevation prompt. Administrators can advertise packages which lets standard users install them later and, of course, admins can also use tools like GPO and SMS to "push" packages. > When I install the software I get the permission message with the our > certificate details on it, but when I use this un-install link it shows > unknown publisher. Anyway around this? > That's known behavior. MSI caches your package after stripping out embedded CABs and uses that for maintenance-mode operations. Any change invalidates the digital signature so MSI strips it out to avoid a bad error message -- the elevation prompt therefore reverts to the unsigned variant. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
