I assume you are using Signing tab - but it only signs setup.exe - and not the actual application.exe file. This way you don't get a "warning" prompt when you install the app, but you get it when you run it. You need to sign application.exe separately - and there is no UI for that in Visual Studio, you need to use PostBuild task: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18636102/1246870
