    Default "unknown editor" warning message from XP

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to create a windows application.

    It behaves correctly, but a warning message is poping up when I launch my application on windows XP.
    This message tells me that windows does not know the signature of the editor of the application, and
    that my application could contain some viruses.

    Can someone tell me how to avoid this message ?

    François.

    Which compiler do you use? I remember that even on windows you can now somehow "sign" applications so windows can show a dialog of the form "Do you want to trust content from publisher XXX"? Maybe they show your warning dialog because the application was not properly signed because you use a compiler (mingw) that does not support those recent feature? Just a wild guess...
    It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

    Thank you for your answer.

    You're write, I'm using mingw.

    I have just found a solution to the problem. Apparently, XP is quite happy if I make him use my application as a windows 200 one (using a right click on the
    application, and select the appropriate option).

    I thought it was not the best solution but since mingw doesn't know that kind of feature, I will stick to this.

    Thank you for your help.
