Problems with signed code

[visual_devel]

Hello,

I have a software that I sign with a trusted certificate of Verisign (both
the assemblies and the MSI packages) following the Microsoft recomendations.

In most of the cases I can install this software with no problems, but there
are a certain number of places where the software installation fails. The
symptoms are that the service I use in my application can not be launched
(the timeout is reached) so the whole installation is aborted. In such cases,
I have checked that the problem is fixed by simply removing the code
signing...

Anybody knows some information about this problem? I have read in some
public forum that this is a known bug of .NET regarding the CLR and the code
signing verification.

Thanks in advance,

Domingo López.
