If the exe is unsigned, then Windows will complain everytime it is run.
If it is signed with a fully resolved certificate (not a self created
one), then it will show the publisher in the dialog and depending on
your security settings will either ask you if you want to be asked the
next time or not ask you at all.
But this only works with paid for certificates that can trace back to
one of the recognized CAs.

Graeme,
Glad to help, that's always annoyed me as well but have never had time
to fully investigate it, I imagine it's due to a signing issue like
you originally thought.
If you find anything out let us know 😁

Ha, that was the problem! My Win7 is a VirtualBox VM, and my
source code
is on a VirtualBox shared folder (mapped to a drive letter in Windows
7). If I copy that executable to the C: drive, then in runs
without the
warning dialog.
What is the point of that? A drive letter is a drive letter. Why
does it
make a difference to Windows it that drive is local, or a network
drive?
At least now we found the cause of the problem. Thanks Tony. It least
now I know this will not happen on every Windows system. Now to figure
out a solution (eventually).
