Hi John,
The first problem with the random digits is due to you not adding the proper
name when signing the package. My Votive is playing up right now so I can't
see the post build event parameters for signing but I think it is the
Description option when using signtool.exe.
The second issue is because Windows Installer does some mangling of your MSI
when it is installed so that the signature is no longer valid. There is not
workaround for this apparently as MSI is only keeping the bits it cares
about (I think) and throwing away the other stuff. All setup packages suffer
from this problem. I know, it is kind of a bad thing when there is so much
emphasis on trying to train users to not load untrusted files.

Subject: [WiX-users] Vista UAC warning when setup runs
Hi, I've created a wix msi file which is then signed however when i run it
under vista i get a strange UAC warning:
"Program needs your permission to continue"
which has the Manufacturer name as the msi is signed, but the program is
listed as a random/temporary 5 digit name (eg 1cd5b.msi)
Is it possible to get rid of this or at least put the correct msi name in?
Also, which i think is a known bug, i get a similar error when the package
is uninstalled, is it possible to remove this as well.
Thanks
