Solution 2

I found same message.

.

My project's exe from debug folder itself is found in reference.

which i think undesired.

Removing that reference solves my problem

Solution 1

Read your own errors:

Quote:
ERROR SUMMARY
{...} Following failure messages were detected:
+ Your Web browser settings do not allow you to run unsigned applications.

Why win forms application needs to validate web browser settings is another obstacle.

hi n.podbielski,

To avoid this web browser error i changed the settings in internet options
allow the software to run or install even if the signature in invalid.but again get same error..
