Hi,

I created a cab file that contains a activex control. I tried to sign (test
certificate) both the ocx file and the cab with Microsoft tools:

makecert -sv "mycompany.pvk" -n "CN=MyCompany" mycompany.cer
cert2spc mycompany.cer mycompany.spc
signtool signwizard #sign the ocx
cabarc N Myfile.cab MyFile.ocx
signtool signwizard #sign the cab

In the Internet Explorer i get an Unknown Publisher. Is that right?
Shouldn't it show the certificate?

thanks!
