title: How to correctly sign an executable
body: <p>I have made a little tool. It is a console application that when running on Win7 brings the UAC security prompt.
  I tried to sign this EXE file in Visual Studio 2010 using the following steps:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Project properties</li>
  <li>Signing</li>
  <li>Create new key as shown below</li>
  </ol>

  <p>The key file was successfully created, as you can see in the capture below.</p>

  <h2>Issues:</h2>
  <p>File is still being blocked by the UAC security prompt. When I checked the file whether signed or not using the signtool.exe, it tells me, no signature was found.
  Please correct me if I'm following the wrong steps.</p>
