[OT?] Legitimising a developer as a 'publisher' in Windows 7

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks to you Guglielmo and to Dave Kilroy. My particular pain in the proverbial is that this program is being developed and tested in three countries (England, France and the US). Up to now this didn't matter at all, thanks to the internet and Dropbox, but now we will have to think carefully about which machine to use... anyway what you have told me is an excellent start.

>> I am not much of a Windows user, but I have a cross-platform app for both Mac and Windows. This works fine on both platforms except that every time (I do mean every time) I start the thing on Windows, I get a warning message from "User Account Control" asking if I want "... the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer". Well of course the answer is 'yes', but how can I make myself known to the Windows machine as a known publisher? Is it some ritual I have to go through with Microsoft (I expect it is)? I don't want the paying users of this program to have to go through this warning, but I have absolutely no idea how to stop it.
