When you check Request Administrator mode for Windows Vista and above in Compiler Options, you get a dialog box that shows the Publisher as unknown. How do we change this? What are the steps involved? Thanks.

You need to have code signing certificate.

I'd recommend http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/ since they have most affordable prices, IMO.

of course, depends on who your customers are - home users are the admin of their machine and so it is not necessary to request admin.

I have a question. How do you enable the certificate when compiling?

Only if you add some "post-compile" script. Or simply use some of the many available tools for signing, most of them are free.

Note Ascertia Root Certificate Authority is not embedded within Windows or the common browsers but can be downloaded from here and easily added.
I would suggest not wasting money on this cert
