Default clickonce with certificate


Hi,

When I publish a winform app with clickonce my users get a "publisher
cannot by verified" due to a missing certificate. If I buy a code
signing certificate at verisign will this message "go away" and the
app install instantly, or will there pop another message up saying
something like "publisher is .... - would you like to install..."?

Thanks,

Thanks - so to be clear....

If I buy a certificate the "message box" comes up saying that I am who
I am, and the user get to click install or don't install. I the user
trust (CAS) apps comming from me it will install instantly, and thats
not possible without a certificate - right?

Thanks for you help.
