I have made an addin for Microsoft Word 2010 Beta using Visual Studio 2010

  • 0

I have made an addin for Microsoft Word 2010 Beta using Visual Studio 2010 RTM. When I look at “View and manage Microsoft Office Add-ins” the publisher shows up as None.

Would code signing with a Software Publisher Certificate fill in the Publisher field?

The ClickOnce manifest is signed with a Code Signing certificate.

Would signing the assembly with a strong name key file fill in the Publisher field?

Is there a method using codesign.exe that would fill in the Publisher field?

Note: Using signtool.exe to sign the addin dll with the certificate results in the publisher showing as None in Word.

    You should be modifying the targets file to set details like Publisher. This solution, albeit for VSTO 2008, should still be applicable to 2010: http://blogs.msdn.com/vsto/archive/2008/06/11/specify-a-product-name-publisher-name-and-other-properties-for-vsto-solutions-saurabh-bhatia.aspx
