@Wizardling Oh, that will be a fun one.

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 21:02 icechat

I thought you'd 'enjoy' it ;-) Sorry to be a downer right after a successful bugfix, heh.

Wizardling avatar Feb 03 '22 21:02 Wizardling

No problem, I never had this issue before, but I will create a new installer that is signed.

@Wizardling I have uploaded a new icechat-setup.exe for IceChat 9.53, could you see if this build is still blocked.

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 icechat

I'm sorry, it is still flagged by Defender.

Wizardling avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 Wizardling

Is it the same screen ? It is now digitally signed.

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 icechat

Same screen. https://github.com/icechat/IceChat/releases/download/9.53F/icechat-setup.exe - yeah?

Wizardling avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 Wizardling

Yeah, just a newer version of the file. Yeah, my windows defender is not catching it.

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 icechat

Do you see it has a Digital Signature on the file now, when you right click it and go to properties:?

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 icechat

Hold on, I see the problem now, if I actually looked at that tab myself, it shows it is not trusted. Back to the drawing board!

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 icechat

I was just about to say that :-) Good luck.

So my self signed certificate is not sufficient here, that seems to be the problem.

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 22:02 icechat

Ok, so it is confirmed that my self signed certificate is invalid, so I can not do much more then that. I will have to see about getting a valid certificate , if it works.

icechat avatar Feb 03 '22 23:02 icechat

Have you considered one of several free or low cost certificate authorities, assuming you're trying to avoid unnecessary expense? Of course the downside of the free ones is they tend to be limited to three months a a time.

Wizardling avatar Feb 04 '22 00:02 Wizardling

If I could make one work, lol. I need a specific type of file (PFX) that they don't seem to provide.

icechat avatar Feb 04 '22 00:02 icechat

Ah. I'm afraid I lack experience in these matters. My only coding nowadays is writing scripts to automate tasks for myself.

Wizardling avatar Feb 04 '22 00:02 Wizardling

I will see if I can find a solution but I am not too worried about it in the mean time,
