Unknown Software Publisher Warnings
Do not ignore unknown software publisher warnings during ClickOnce installations unless the publisher is
VMware.
When you install ClickOnce software through the VCM user interface, Internet Explorer warns you when
the software comes from an untrusted publisher. An untrusted publisher can be anyone, even a company
that you recognize. The warning means only that the certificate is not in the trusted software publisher
certificate store.
If you receive an unknown software publisher warning, open the certificate details view. VMware
software is signed with the VMware Software Publisher Certificate. If the software publisher is VMware,
you can install in spite of the warning.
Do Not Use VCM Remote to Install Other Software
Although VCM Remote can push new VCM Remote Agents to VCM Remote clients, do not use this
mechanism to distribute software other than VCM Remote.
