Signing a .NET Application

Hallo NG,

after installing IE7 a security dialog appears when executing an
application from a share.
Either I change the IE7 security settings for local intranet
or I use a certificate for my executable.

Q:    How can I sign my .NET application with a digital certificate?
        How can I sign any other executable file on a share?
        Do I have to use selfcert in my test environment?

Thanks in advance

Can't you add another CodeGroup with condition type URL =  X:/Share/*.*
and grant whatever rights you need?

Yes, you have to!
But adding CodeGroups with "Full Trust" for your Intranet_Zone
grants you code access to your framework,
and not for executable located on shares.

Till installation of IE7, it was even no problem to execute applics from
shares.

The new security policy from MS seems to be very restricted,
I'm curiuos about the new vista!
