asked on
policy or certification issue maybe?
When trying to install a custom VB application on an XP machine, the following message is given
Application Install – Security Warning
Your administrator has blocked this application because it potentially poses a security risk to your computer.
Name: xxxxxxxxxxx
From: D:\ xxxxxxxxxxxx
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Your security settings do not allow this application to be installed on computer.
(I replaced the app's name and location)
The user has admin rights on the laptop. I believe this miight be happening if a group policy
was set on the laptop, or if XP is just having issues with the certification of the software.
Any advise?

Thanks for your reply,
I think that might be right, but it's the IT guy having the issue with the software (at a remote location). I can't get my hand on the laptop, but the error message in my original note is the exact error message. I believe this must be an item in the security policy (local or group) that needs to be adjusted, but I'm just not sure what. I am also not certain if group policy is active or not. I am trying to find out more. It is important for us to try and get this operational rather quickly. The app does not have a certification, it is seen as being from an unknown publisher. What I am looking for is the policy setting that would allow an application from an "unknown" publisher to be installed. The app was developed by a co-worker, so we know there is no security issue with it. It works fine on the XP PC it was written and compiled on.

Could you please share the following details:
What is the operating system?
Is the application being installed via Windows Installer, Click Once, Setup.exe ?
If Windows Installer is being used, please run the attached MSI-Verbose-Logging-ON.REG
MSI-Verbose-Logging-ON.reg
MSI-Verbose-Logging-OFF.reg

Thanks for your reply.
The laptop is running XP Pro, I believe SP2. Windows Installer was used. Thanks for the links, Unfortunately, the laptop is accross the counrty from me so I can't try it now. I'm sending the links to the app developer to ask him to speak to the user to try the links. I will reply with the requested info when available.
