Vista - Why won't generatePublisherEvidence app setting speed up load time

We have an issue with load time in several installations of our application.
We've located the information regarding KB 936707 and ensured that the
application config file contains the runtime setting of
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
but the application still takes over 2 minutes to load. When we disconnect
the PC from the network (internet) then the application loads in about 5
seconds.

We've ensured the .net 2.0 version is SP1 - which should allow this to work.

Does anyone know of any other way to ensure this timeout to the crl doesn't
occur and our application will load normally?

You need .NET V3.5 SP1

Hi MSix,

Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Service. My name is Hongye Sun [MSFT]
and it is my pleasure to work with you on this issue.

.NET Framework 2.0 SP1 has already included KB 936707 hot fix, so
"generatePublisherEvidence" should be working. Before taking further steps
into this issue, we need to confirm 2 facts:

1. Is the issue caused by KB 936707?
I noticed that you mentioned "several installations of our application". Do
you mean that other installations in other machines work properly? If so,
can you enable generatePublisherEvidence and check if the load time
increases.

Another way is to disable in Internet Explorer -> Options -> Advanced ->
Security -> 'Check for publisher's certificate revocation' check box. This
is also a Per-Machine Workaround for this issue. It will prevent CLR to
checking for certificate for all code-signed assemblies. After uncheck the
setting, check if the problem disappears.

2. Is the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installed
First of all, I need to declare that all the machines I mentioned here is
the target machine which the application is installed at, instead of the
development machine.

In the target machine, open registry, find key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727.
Check if the "SP" equals or greater than 1.

Please let me know the results. Thanks.
