Hello Sir/Madam:

I created a software using Delphi 2005 and C++ Builder6.  Then I created a self-extracting installation/Setup executable (using a third-party install builder program - similar to InstallShield).

However when I try to run the installation program, I get messages like the following - "The Publisher could not be verified........". - And at the bottom of the message box it is stated - "This file does not have a valid Digital Signature that verifies it's publisher...".

So what do I do? How do I obtain a Digital Signature? (should i go to, say, Verisign?), But MORE IMPORTANTLY, after I obtain the (software) Digital Signature, what exactly do I do with it so that my File Explorer or Internet Explorer sees that the file has a valid Digital Signature and a verified publisher?

Also, do Borland provide a utility to ADD a (software) Digital Signature to a Delphi 2005 (or C++ Builder6) application? OR can it be done within Delphi 2005 (or C++ Builder6)?. 

Please help!!!

Thank you for your tine.
