Certifying for Windows 7

I’m trying to get a Windows Application Certified for Windows 7.  Once step is to run it through a certification program. The application doesn’t accept ClickOnce manifests so basically you cant even start the certification process without a MSI or EXE file. We’ll at least not from the UI.

I found the following issue reported:

I love the first answer. It just reeks of a “your wrong, I’m right”-attitude, when in fact the answer is wrong.

I’ll try to write up a post once I have a workaround.
