When I try to run mi compiled application Windows advertises that the APP don't have any signature and asks if I really want to run my app.

I don't know the reason wich causes that but I think to avoid this I need a digital signature, so from the web I followed this steps:

I've created my own cert with the makecert tool from Windows SDK's, following a example with this code:

makecert -r -pe -a sha1 -n "CN=name, E=name@Hotmail.com, C=US" -b 01/01/2013 -e 01/01/2050 -ss My

Then I can see my own certificate in the "Personal" Folder:

enter image description here

Now I've exported the certificate with this command:

certutil -exportPFX -p "Password" my 586a7358ebdce8854def26875f0f38ab "C:\Test.pfx"

But when I opened the signing tab in my project setings and choosed "Select from file...", VS says this:

The selected certificate is not valid for code-signing. Choose another certificate file.

enter image description here

I did bad something? I don't know how to correctly code-sign my project, maybe I need a ".cer" certificate instead a ".pfx" certificate? then how I can generate a valid CER certificate?
