This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the package to basic.

Hi there,
I was wondering whether anyone could tell me which feature in Windows 7 produces this message "This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of
the package to basic." and whether it can be turned off in Windows to prevent this message from appearing when installing certain programs that aren't WHQL certified. At first I thought it was the UAC control that generated this message but found out
that it wasn't and then thought it was the DEP control and found out that it wasn't this either. I'm only seem to be getting this message when installing FileDirector Component Service Version 3 on a few of our workstations which is an add-on that allows file
integration with Office and is part of FileDirector WinClient Version 3.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I know of a way to bypass this message but would ideally not like to have the feature turned on and for the message not to be appear for non WHQL certified program installations in order to make non WHQL certified program installations in the future much
easier, more simpler and straightforward to carry out. I was redirected by a moderator off the Microsoft Community Forum.

Hi,
You can try following options to disable this prompt, but we don't recommend you to do so since this feature helps you to protect your computer.
Option 1: Run command as admin:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Restart your computer to apply changes.
Option 2: Disable in GPO:
1.Type gpedit.msc in the Run dialog and press Enter.
2.In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to User Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Driver Installation.
3.Double-click on Code signing for device drivers in the right-side pane as shown above.
4.In the windows that opens, choose Enabled. In the Options, choose Ignore as shown. Then click on the OK button to save the settings.
Restart your computer to apply changes.

  • Advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe

    I need some help with group policy assigned software. We had an old version of software that was made part of our computer image and the company that made the software decided to rebrand it and require a new install. We wanted to push the new software to
    the user’s pc’s but then found the new and old software are conflicting. I then have to manually uninstall both and then manually install the new again. We decided to just manually install the software and we removed the group policy since we didn’t want to
    have it conflict with our manual install. When we removed the policy we only have 2 options:
    The first option is "Immediately uninstall the software from users and computers."
    The second option is "Allow users to continue to use the software, but prevent new installations."
    Being that half of the users have the new software installed and working fine we don’t want to have group policy uninstall the software but we also don’t want to block new installations. So we did the second option and then added the software back to group
    policy but only published it, not to auto install. Now we cannot install on some computers because it has been marked as an unsafe application. How can I remove this from group policy so I can go back to like it was never added? My guess is that it is being
    set by a registry key. The DC's are 2008 r2 with Win 7 systems.

    Does it work using the same source file, if you try to install manually?
    I suspect something with IE security zones or alternate data streams
    (Zone Identifier...).

  • Adobe Air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged....

    Every time I try to install new product through adobe air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author. Kiran Kumar: May I have the product name and version you are referring to? I've looked over the online suggested repair which indicates to search for and delete Adobe Muse but when go looking for it, it doesn't seem to exist. How can I get this resolved?

    Finally found a fix on my own....Wasted like 3 hours today. Hope this helps for anyone struggling with that stupid error message:

  • "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

    Hello-
    I have an air application that is distributed via CDROM, the app is signed by a code signing certificate and timestamped. In mid-August when my certicate expired my users started calling stating that they couldn't install our product due to the following error: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author." From my understanding a timestamped application is taken at a point in time when it's generated so why would it matter if the certificate was still valid? I have since replaced the certificate and will need to redistribute to my (thousands of) users however when I test it out using a future date and time the same error occurs. Any information to help resolve this would be grately appreciated.

    my command:
    C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adl
    application.xml
    C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adt
    -certificate -cn HelloW
    orld 1024-RSA certHelloWorld.pfx password

  • Please help:error w/ adobe download assistant"application could not be installed because another..."

    Application could not be installed because another application is already being installed. Please finish the first application before preceeding with this one". It says something like that. I hit the download button and then hit save. It downloaded something, but that was it. So I went back and hit "save and run" and this message appears. I am not sure how to run what I saved initially if that is even the problem. Please help. I need to use this program tonight - the trial of CS5 Extended. Thank you!

    Have you tried restarting your computer?  It is possible you have a pending update or even another piece of software being installed which is preventing the installation.

    Hi Kashmore,
    Seems like the downloaded file was corrupt that could be because of either network restriction or the anti virus might have blocked it. My suggestion would be to try and download the product either by turning off the Antivirus or try a different network.

  • Air 1.51 installation failure. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

    The error:
    The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.
    is generated when an AIR installation file is lauched from a Samba Network Drive in Vista Utlimate 64. If the install files are copied to a local drive, it installs without incident.

    Working with networks drives are never reliable.  Corruption, path problems, networks connections, and privlatges can come in the way of a properly mapped drive.  I think your solution is fairly straight forward.  You need to install your application from a local filesystem, not a mapped network drive.  In the meantime, log a bug report HERE.

    Windows right?
    Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
    Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
    http://botnetchecker.com/
    All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
    Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
    http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
    Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
    If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
    See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
    If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
    Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
    Hope that works.

  • HT1923 Application will not Un-Install, Update or Repair..

    My iTunes has Failed to Up-Date numerous times, I got worried and since i'm going to buy an iPhone 5 soon.. I was dissapointed to figre out that my iTunes has broke down. The Obvious thing to-do was to Un-Install the Application, That failed aswell.. So, Now i'm stuck!   I don't know what to-do, It seems like my other Apple programs are Fine... I run Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Toshiba Satellite A660 and..   Oh! I forgot to add, there is this warning message that comes up when the Up-date/Repair/Un-Install Completes: PLEASE! HELP!

    Unfortunately you have made two mistakes, disconnecting the external HDD improperly and installing Norton AV.
    What I would try with the external HDD is installing it in a non-WD enclosure and see if you can then access the data.  If not, then look for data recovery software on the Internet which may enable you to retrieve your data.
    You do not have a need for AV software, especially Norton.  It will cause performance problems with your MBA.  Go to the Symantic web site and look for un-install instructions and rid your MBA of same.
    Ciao.

    I have downloaded Pocket Informant and when I go to install on my Tour it says downloading for over 1 day.  I have deleted and tried to reinstall after rebooting and the same thing happens.  I tried this with BBM (which disappeared after downloading pocket informant) as well and am having the same problem.  Has anyone experienced this and if so, how did you resolve it?
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If you are doing this via AppWorld (you didn't say...), please clear the application cache:
    1. Open App World
    2. Go to My World
    3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
    3b. For Storm/Pearl -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
    4a. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
    Then try your install again
    Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!
