How can I set my addin's Name and Publisher properties that are displayed in the Outlook Trust Center?

My addin is signed and I've filled in the properties in the deployment project and the assembly, but the Trust Center appears to use the assembly name in the Trust Center rather than a friendly name and it doesn't display a publisher.

Hi Bruce.

Did you sign the add-in with a digital signature (.pfx file)?

I just found <<"Unknown Publisher" Security Warning>> thread in this forum that describes how to set the publisher. Turns out I was signing only the msi file and not signing the adxloader.dll. I tried it and it works, so I I'm all set. Thanks.
