C# Install and run .exe issue

I have a c# console application. It is published to a UNC path where it will be executed from. When I double click on setup.exe from the UNC, where it is published, I get Application Install security warning.

Publisher cannot be verified.Are you sure you want to install this application?

I click on Install button and it ran the .exe file. I could see the o/p. Everything is fine. Then Next time when I double click on the same setup.exe, I neither got Application Install Security warning nor doublicking setup.exe gave me the result that was expected from my application.

I m using Visual studio 2010. I want to know how would I bypass Application Install security warning in the first place? Eveytime when I double click setup.exe, it should give me the o/p w/o any warning signs. Right now I have to do uninstall program, then double click the exe to make it run and give my o/p. I m sure there must be a way to not to uninstall program, then double click .exe to run it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Installing from a network share, unless the application is signed by a certificate that is installed in the trusted certificate store of the suer installing, will always present the security warning. Try installing the application using Click-Once deployment and when deploying, specify that the application must be downloaded everytime versus being installed into the control panel. This will prevent users from keeping old copies on their desktops and won't give out any security warnings.

You should look into code signing.
