"Unidentified Publisher" on signed msi

I've created a test certificate and installed it on a Vista computer. It is part of a Windows domain. I am using that to sign my code and sign the msi. When I double-click on the msi to begin the installation, it does correctly show that the msi has been signed. However, I'm still getting the "unidentified publisher" UAC pop-up once I get to the "Installing [Application]" screen. Am I doing something wrong? This appears to be preventing me from doing silent updates in Vista as well.

I am using AI 5.1.1.

Hi,

This is because you use a test certificate. Certificates for testing are not known by Vista as trusted. So you need a real certificate for this.
