Setting the UAC 'Publisher' Field for a NSIS Installer

Question

When I open my installer(that I created using NSIS), the UAC dialog appears with information about my installer. The field Publisher is \'unknown\'. I\'ve heard of digi

Answer 1

It seems to be important to sign the installer file with two signatures, as svcabre implemented it:

Using both sha1 algorithm on the one hand

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\signtool.exe"
sign /f "YourCertificateFileHere.pfx" /p YourPasswordHere 
/fd sha1 /t http://timestamp.comodoca.com /v "YourInstallerFilePathHere"

and sha256 on the other hand

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\signtool.exe" 
sign /f "YourCertificateFileHere.pfx" /p YourPasswordHere 
/fd sha256 /tr http://timestamp.comodoca.com?td=sha256 
/td sha256 /as /v "YourInstallerFilePathHere"

With this option, also windows 10 showed the certificate holder correctly.
