This is a problem with Vista and Windows Server 2008. Please see kbase article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929467 for more details. Once you install the any Windows package, Windows Vista strips the installer package to include only the components needed for un-install and copies this new installer to a cache location. When you attempt to un-install the application, Vista will use it's cached installer. Since this cached installer differs from the signed MSI we distribute, the publisher (Vista in this case) is 'unknown'.
