SYMPTOMS
When attempting to download code using the CoGetClassObjectFromUrl API, the client's IBindStatusCallback::OnStopBinding method is called with the hrStatus parameter set to "Generic Trust Failure" (0x800B010B).



CAUSE
The code to be downloaded is not signed.



RESOLUTION
Sign the code that you are attempting to download using Microsoft's Authenticode Technology.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
If Internet Explorer (IE) is installed on the client machine, to force the unsigned code to be downloaded, set the security level to low. Note that this is recommended for testing purposes only.
