i guess my .NET application needs to be signed or something. how do i get rid of that prompt unknown publisher when someone tries to install my app?

+2  A: 

If it's the prompt I'm thinking of, you'd start by getting a certificate from someone like Verisign and use their certificate to sign your assembly.

You may be able to do a self-signed assembly using the information from these pages:

I'd recommnd reading up and going from there.
