Do you want this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device

At run-time in Windows 10, non-admin users of my .Net application are prompted:

"Do you want this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your devices?"

I am using Advanced Installer for the installation of this program, and that works very well.

It seems my issue has to do with embedding a manifest in my application.

I am just wondering whether this is something that Advanced Installer can help out with?

Thanks as always for any help or advice.

P.S. I have read the article in this forum "Users are prompted for Admin password at time of install" but run-time rather than install is my issue.

Hello,

Normally, that warning is displayed at install-time, by the UAC, if your setup is not digitally signed.

You can read more about this in our "Digital Signature" article.

Hope this helps!
