Systenics Website Relaunch
Our older website was starting to show age and unable to keep pace with styles.

Sync SQL Server 2012 Data with SQL CE 3.5 SP2 over the Internet using WCF Services using MS Sync Framework v2.1
Recently, we were working on a client project where the client required multiple Windows Based Client Applications to be able to work offline and synchronize with the master MS SQL Database (hosted on the internet), when internet connection is available.

In older versions of Windows, unsigned deployments show a Unverified Publisher message and discourage the users from installing your application. This application was meant to be distributed over the internet and it meant doom for the client who had invested so much in getting the application built, but was being stopped from rollout due to this issue. We were able to resolve the issue for the client with a bumpy ride. This blog post tries to describe the process that worked for us, hopefully it will serve as a guidance to all those who are hitting against a brick wall trying to resolve this issue with very little guidance from GoDaddy documentation.
