Getting rid of "The publisher could not be verified" for a SINGLE instance install - Possible?

Question

I have a Windows Forms (C#, SQL Server) application that I developed up and running and all is well, except for when I try to run its Release .exe on my own development workstation, it issues the "The publisher could not be verified" warning.

(When I run this application from Visual Studio in Debug mode, I don't get this warning)

I know about code signing but this application is going to be installed on a single machine only (directly by me, on the client's machine), so I am thinking perhaps there is a way to get rid of this warning without having to sign the EXE, similar to the exception Microsoft does when running from Visual Studio?

Note: on a single install single machine only.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Are your running it from a network share by any chance?

If so, try copying it to a C:\ folder and see if that solves the problem.
