This article was previously published under Q169609 SUMMARY
With Visual Basic 5.0 and later, you can now develop software easily for
distribution over the Internet. Code received via the Internet lacks shrink-wrapped packaging to vouch for its reliability and some users may be
skeptical when asked to download your application and components. To
reassure these users that your application and components are safe to
download, you can provide a digital signature to assure your customers that
your software will not harm their systems. This article gives a brief
overview of how to have your Visual Basic Internet application or component
digitally signed.
