Windows Desktop Application Program: Certificate Requirements

Question

We are looking to use the Windows Desktop Application Program with our application. When I have used this in the past, there had been some requirements for the code signing certificate used. As I recall, it had to be from VeriSign. I don't remember if it had to be an extended validation certificate, or if a vanilla certificate worked. In the meantime, VeriSign sold its certificate products to Symantec. Before plunking down the cost for the certificate, we prefer to get one known to work with the Desktop Application Program. Can anyone tell me what the current requirements are?

Answer 1

I have not seen The Certificate Requirements Which Must be from VeriSign In the Windows Desktop Application Program Document.
According To The Following Answers Of The SO Question, It's Useable to Generate a certificate using Makecert Except Certificates generated with makecert are normally used for development and testing, not production. And Test First Makecert.
Otherwise, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps You can use Any Commercial Certificates.
