Distributing signed code via MS technologies requires you to get your 
signature from MS, at least in many cases. Bascially, you buy a normal web 
cert from a CA that MS trusts (any of several of the big ones), and then 
sign an empty ActiveX file with it, and send that to MS along with your 
public key, and MS signs the public key and sends it back. You can't just 
use a self-signed cert, at least for most of the stuff I've seen that deal 
with certs.
