We had been with VeriSign but they upped their prices again this year so we shopped around.
We bought our Class 3 from C.O.M.O.D.O. We have successfully used them to sign all our software (exe's), installers (msi's) and driver packages (cab's) that we upload to Microsoft for digital driver signing. http://www.instantssl.com/code-signing/code-signing.html Only $179 for a full year. Microsoft offers a "Deal" directly from VeriSign for the Authenticode Digital ID, but it is $399. That is not a deal considering these other competitors exist and offer identical features and services. https://winqual.microsoft.com/help/default.htm#obtaining_a_verisign_class_3_ digital_id.htm So, choose whomever you wish, but we found that paying more didn't get you anything extra. -Trevor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Vottero Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 7:47 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Vista & unknown publisher I've just been looking at buying a cert and I'm wondering why Verisign is so expensive.
