Thank you - the /d option on signtool is what I was missing. I looked at
the result of signing (cert) - and I didn't see anything missing, so I
didn't' realize the /d was needed. And - I had the /du option provided.
But - now that I use /d - Windows Vista UAC dialog appears to use the /d
signed parameter instead of the (temporary) MSI name.
Thanks!
Lewis.
