That isn't entirely necessary as it happens.

Is that a test MCE AddIn you built? Was it meant to do anything
obvious? I could try it on my MCE machine which would be illuminating.

No, none of the xFx modules are strong named. When I was first
developing MCxAP I did set things up with that requirement in mind,
but frankly I found it a massive PITA so I removed it all again. It
isn't necessary as long as the files are in the eHome directory. They
only need to be strong named if a GAC install is required.
