Application icon in Security Warning dialog   
I'm using signcode.exe to apply a code signing certificate to sign my 
installation program. When the user is launching the installer, they're 
(expectedly) seeing the "Open File - Security Warning" dialog to confirm that 
they want to execute, and the proper code signing certificate is being 
referenced. However, the dialog is using the generic application icon rather 
than the embedded icon that's otherwise being used by Windows. Is there any 
way to change the icon that's being used in this dialog to reference the 
supplied application icon, or will it only display the generic icon.
Thanks,
Jason

RE: Application icon in Security Warning dialog   
Hi Jason,

Regarding on your description, you've digitally signed an setup program and 
found that when running it on Vista, the security warning dialog will 
display its certificate via a general Icon. You wonder whether this Icon 
can be  customized, correct?

Based on my experience, this Icon should be different from the 
application's Icon and might be associated with the certificate's 
properties. I'll do some further research on this and let you know if I get 
any further information.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

RE: Application icon in Security Warning dialog   
Hi Jason,

Sorry for the late response. After some further research and consulting 
some windows Vista engineers, there seems hasn't any opened interface for 
us to change the warning icon(display in UAC prompt) in our application's 
program code or resource. This icon is used by the system and separated 
from Application's Icon.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
