Package solution with a signed app in A2010

Very simple install. I have a application FE that I need to sign and distribute to people on my local network. It consists of a .ACCDB that needs to be loaded into their AppData directory and a ICON to be installed on their desktop. The user doesn’t know anything about where to install it or how to create a ICON so I want to create a setup program to do this for them. The problem is I need to sign the application. I am having a hard time packaging a signed application. Does anyone know if this can be done with Access 2010? (p.s. extra points if you can tell me how to sign and distribute an ACCDR)

Thank you NeoPa, I have created a certificate and it is loaded on the user computers. I need to know how to Package & Sign the app and then distribute it via the Package Solution wizard. When I try to sign the code as we did in 2003 it tells me I have to P&S from the menu. So I did, then when I try to include the signed package into the Package Solution I cannot. As I read this I am wondering if I can unpack the app from the packaging process then distribute that program with The Package Solution Wizard. It seems like a lot of work. Anyway I sold my company on buying 5 licenses to Office 2010 based on the “One click” Package Solutions wizard similar to VB now I am going to have to eat crow if I can’t produce some benefit. Please help if there is another option. I will try this and get back to you.

I'm sorry I don't have any experience with the Package Solution wizard. I only know about the signing. To be fair, if you have that sorted (which many never manage) you're already doing well. I'm not sure about loading certificates on user computers though. You ensure that each user computer trusts the signing authority that issued the certificate (That's you by the way) but never need to transfer certificate files to other PCs in the usual way.

Good luck with your project :-)
