Hi Martin, I don't mind taking this offline if you have more specific questions that our experiences could help with.
We took the "big leap" and didn't go with VeriSign and the only thing that we renewed for the Class 3 Authenticode Digital Signatures was the $179 with COMODO. This covered the verification with WinQual. Microsoft suggests that you purchase the $99 Organizational Certificate but that is only if you aren't going to do the Class 3 for Authenticode. Microsoft then suggest that you could alternatively purchase the $399 Authenticode Digital ID which would be a super set of the Organizational Certificate. It is not required to go with VeriSign and their prices in order to get the Digital ID's. Hope that helps, otherwise ask directly as to not disturb others who are having WiX issues. -Trevor -----Original Message----- From: Martin Cetkovsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 9:32 AM To: 'Trevor Clifton'; 'John Vottero'; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Vista & unknown publisher [OT] Hi, a little bit OT, but interesting for me. Do I understand it well, that for establishing an account for winqual, I can use a certificate from other companies than Verisign as well? Just that the winqual documentation and registration wizard is written in "must have Verisign"... :/ Thanks, Martin > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:wix- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trevor > Clifton > Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 4:50 PM > To: 'John Vottero'; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Vista & unknown publisher > > 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.
