Hi Dan,

Thank you for posting.

Which files did you copied to the other PC? How did you desactive  "Signature" in your project?

I think you can add a test signature for your project. For more details, please view this arrticle:

Dan, as far as I know, we can't disable the siganature, we need to sign the dlls for deployment. For more details, please refer to this article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730868(VS.80).aspx#rsvssign_topic3

"To publish an application using ClickOnce deployment, the application and deployment manifests must be signed with a cryptographic x509 certificate. ClickOnce deployment uses the RSA private key encryption scheme; the manifests are signed with the key information from the certificate. "

Hope this can explain the scenario.

Best Regards,

hi Bruce 

i followed exactey the procedure like described in above  UrL without succes!!

then i created a blank doc word with just "Hello"

i tried to debug it no succes always that message "

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Deployment.ClickOnceAddInTrustEvaluator.VerifyTrustPromptKeyInternal(ClickOnceTrustPromptKeyValue promptKeyValue, DeploymentSignatureInformation signatureInformation, String productName)"

i don't need certificate i don't need signature i just want to copy my dotx file to another "PC" and it seem impossible!!!

i'm quiet dessapointed.
