Description mathada 2010-04-21 00:53:01 UTC 
Version - 6.0.26
OS - Windows XP,Vista
Java - jre6/jdk1.6.0_18
Component - Installer

Repro steps:

1. Download the tomcat windows installer.
2. Double click the installer.

Actual result:
We see the installer window with publisher as 'Unknown Publisher'.
Windows Vista gives user a message 'The Publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?'

Expected result:
User should see 'The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)' under the publisher section.

Clearly a digital certificate issue with the installer. Might be a case where in the digital certificate is not getting picked up ??.

The ASF has no such organisation wide signing certificate. This is something that has been under discussion but needs a fair amount of infrastructure and process put in place to implement securely.
