Installing my application - Publisher cannot be verified

[Tony H]

I've built my first complete vb.net application.. Putting it on another
computer hasn't been a pleasant experience.

When I run the setup on my office computer (I built it on my home computer),
I get a prompt to install '.NET Framework 2.0 Beta' which I of course agree
to and it goes fine til it starts downloading files, on the first file, an
error prompt pops up that says:

"Setup has detected that the publisher of file
'C:\DOCUME~1\...\Temp\VSD233.tmp\DotNetFX\instmsia.exe' cannot be verified.
Click OK to retry the download, or cancel to exit setup"

I've only found one page (an rtf file) that mentions this.

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/readme/ExpressKnownIssues.rtf

The problem is that this is absurd.. I need to install this application and
I can't find a way to get around it.. I found two pages (with virtually
identical content) where rsomeone asks if WinVerifyTrust() can be disabled.

The pertaining part of install.log reads:

Setup: Downloading files to "C:\DOCUME~1\DOTCFM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD233.tmp\"
FileManager: Getting 'DotNetFX\instmsia.exe' from file map
FileManager: Downloading 'http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=37285' from
'DotNetFX\instmsia.exe' to 'C:\DOCUME~1\DOTCFM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD233.tmp\'
FileManager: Getting 'DotNetFX\instmsia.exe' from file map
Wintrust: WinVerifyTrust returned -2146762482
WinTrust: File not trusted
Error: Setup has detected that the publisher of file
'C:\DOCUME~1\DOTCFM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD233.tmp\DotNetFX\instmsia.exe' cannot
be verified.

Any ideas, anyone?

So why not just preinstall 2.0 Beta?
