I'll take a stab at this, although you probably want to wait for Mark Powell to chime in here. Due to the fact that there are so many bug^H^H^Haspects of Microsoft's code that people can exploit^H^H^Hutilize, Microsoft created a way to digitally sign your application when you release it. The code is directly traceable back to you and verified by the installation code. That way if somebody or some program messes with your application and modifies it in any way the verification will fail and the user will be presented with a warning message before installation proceeds. It's a way of ensuring that the application is intact from the time it leaves your hands to the time the end-user installs it. If you don't sign your application then the user will be get a message to that effect and "do they want to continue?". IT departments hate that and would probably be more likely to let signed apps be installed. YMMV. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
