Users getting SmartScreen Filter on install

• Version: 5.21.0

• Target: Windows x64

After running npm run dist which calls build I go ahead and manually code sign the .exe found in the dist\win folder. Following that I check that the file has been signed correctly like this: signtool.exe verify /pa my-app-1.0.0.exe

It confirms that the file is signed correctly.

However, when I publish a release to Nuts with the .nupkg files for Squirrel, my users are getting the SmartScreen filter show up, sometimes killing the installation all together.

My first thought is that it’s the .exe’s packaged within. This indicated by the Unknown Publisher tag Windows gives to Update.exe–I believe that belongs to the Squirrel piece.

What am I doing wrong here?

I haven’t been able to get a CI to work because one of my native node modules is finicky to build.

Proposed fix:

• Investigate why Error information: "Error: Store IsDiskFile() failed." (-2147024773/0x8007007b) is not printed as part of error message
• Auto-fix *** windows urls, support *** windows paths (without file://).

File path is supported in the CSC_LINK (10.1.0).
