Good to hear it's working.

It's telling you in in the first dialog window when installing ("Do you
want to run this file", Publisher: Steven Borho). A click on "Steven
Borho" will show you his digital signature and if the signature is ok
(at least it does so here on my English Windows 7 Ultimate x64).

Or see in the properties dialog for the msi file (in tab "Digital
Signatures").
