Code Signing ?
Community Forums/General Help/Code Signing ?

| I just put a new BlitzMax PC game on my web site. Some browsers (esp Google) are warning away potential downloaders. Is this because of Developer Unknown? Anyone have Code Signing experience? Thoughts? |
| ||
| Not seen this and i use chrome. Not talking about https transfer are you? |
| ||
| Some file packers might cause webcrawlers to think something is dodgy when it isn't, simply because it has files embedded into an executable, or is compressed/encrypted. |
| ||
| I'm using Inno Setup to make an Installer. |

| The Google Chrome warning message seems to have softened somewhat already. Now says "Not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous". Maybe if I download it 100 or 1000 times, Google will recommend downloading my game? Cheers |

| @ GFK -- I removed compression. Game download went fro ~4 MB to ~6 MB. IE now friendlier! Chrome still thinks it should be trashed. Thanks for suggestion. @ D4NM4N -- can you explain about HTTPs transfer? Thanks. Last edited 2012 Last edited 2012 |

| Well, the only time i ever get messages pop up for signing and certificates is when using https protocol rather than http on sites than have not got a signing. (this would happen if you linking to stuff stored in apache's https folder rather than http (for example)) Btw, if you are using Inno, do not link to the EXE file, this may give you a problem. Stick it in a .zip or .gz file. Last edited 2012 |

| @D4NM4N -- Thanks for explanation. With Inno, are you suggesting Game.exe ==> Game.exe.zip ==> GameInstall.exe ? I asked my host (DreamHost) how to gain download favor with Chrome and IE9? Reply: https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=1364 It seems there are some magical decisions going on inside Chrome and IE9. If your download isn't popular, it can't be recommended as safe. If nobody downloads your game, how can it become popular? HA. |

| Just stick your exe in a zip file. Dont include .exe in the name at all. so install.exe becomes install.zip |
