Impossible sign assembly

  Hi Stefano,

  There are two concepts:

  1) Signing assemblies with a strong name. See:

  Strong-Named assemblies:

  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wd40t7ad(v=vs.110).aspx

  this is done per-project within Visual Studio in Project properties, Signing tab, where you specify the file with the key (or you create a new one). See:

  How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name
  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc31ft41(v=vs.110).aspx

  Strong-named assemblies don't prevent the Unknown Publisher warning when running the setup

  2) Code signing (Authenticode): this applies to setups (of assemblies or native dlls, exes, etc.). This does prevent the Unknown Publisher warning when running the setup. You need to buy a certificate, personal or company, and sign your setup. See:

  Introduction to Code Signing

  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537361(v=vs.85).aspx

  Thank you Carlos for the second issue on Autenticode. 

  I will purchase a certificate. And now I know that this is another story. 

  But let try to get the application running with strong name. 

  I  already have seen the link you send me. My key was generated on another machine and there everyting was running. 

  Now, on the new PC, the imported old key is NOT working. But also a new generated key in causing problems. 

  I generated the new key using the sign panel on the consuming project. 

  Then I added it in the panel of the .dll where a copy of this key was added to the .dll project. 

  But this .dll strongnamed (in this way) is not compiled. Error: the Key  file "is impossible to be opened because used by anoter process"

  Hi,

  It is not clear to me what you are doing, so try this:

  On the new computer:

  1) If you create a new project with a new .snk file (<New...> item in combobox), does it build or do you get an error?

  2) If you create a new project with the existing .snk file copied from the old computer (<Browse...> item in combobox), does it build or do you get an error?

  3) If you set a workspace, get the latest version from source control (which should include both the project files and the .snk file), does it build or do you get an error?

  Ok I'do carefully points 1 and 2.

  May be point 3 is the problem. I never set a workspace. Until now I simply worked in solutions folder.

  please add a link to workspaces.

  Thank you

  I did not set the workspace. 

  New project OK

  new Key from combo  OK Key added to the project

  Compilation  - Not OK

  the new project with the usual Key is NOT compiled. The error message is the same.

  Can not insert image. It seems I am not a verified user

  Hi,

  Welcome to MSDN forum.

  Since our forum is to talk about the setup of visual studio, I will move your thread to a appropriate forum to get more support. Thank you for understanding.
