Bypassing the Authenticode Signature Check on Startup

I found this feature was backported to .Net 2.0 via hotfix

support.microsoft.com/.../936707

You can check the .Net file C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\MsCorWks.dll to make sure it is higher than the 876 revision (2.0.50727.876 or later) if you are unsure the patch is installed.

Therefore this workaround can work on .Net 2.0 apps as well. Just make an application.exe.config file in the same folder where your application.exe lives and paste in the text with notepad:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

</runtime>

</configuration>

This setting was shipped in .Net 3.5.

Does it work downlevel to .net 2.0 after 3.5 is installed? I think 3.5 is like a service pack for 2.0, but I'm not sure.

I tried it and it seems to help (process monitor shows no CRL keys touched with this setting enabled=false), but I just want to make sure of it.
