I believe if you set Compressed to "yes" on your MsiPackage, you get this result. I believe Rob said this was a bug in the Microsoft Installer, something about how it splits out the cab before validating the authenticode, though I'm not sure. I found it worked OK when Compressed is "no" which means your two msi files will be deployed separately. I suggest you try this if it fits into your needs. Otherwise, try a more recent build since there were some bugs involving signature validation. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/When-install-exe-built-with-burn-UAC-dialog-says-Unknown-Publisher-tp7216648p7216833.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
