Code signing, certificate authorities
I do need to get a software publishing certificate for IS2008.
I went through the list of certificate authorities of MS and found the price differences to be quite huge.
Is there an advantage of choosing one over another, ie verisign or comodo?
For code signing, at least get a 2048-bit certificate. ALSO, please make sure you get the certificate and also an .SPC file.
You see, to do One-Click Installs, InstallShield will require you to have all three files, .pfx, .pvk, .spc. Now, there are posts on the net that say you can generate your own .spc. But, I have spent a lot of time using various tools and have never had any success doing this. So, you'll want to get the .spc file from the Certificate Authority at the time you buy your certificate.
Hope this helps.
