(Typo corrected)

I would like my .NET program to be installable by the customer logged in as a Windows 10 user.

It is ok if she needs to enter user credentials to install the program.

But ideally she should not have to type ** ADMIN ** credentials every time she runs the program.

The program is ...

At run-time in Windows 10, non-admin users of my .Net application are prompted:

"Do you want this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your devices?"

I am using Advanced Installer for the installation of this program, and that works very well.

It seems my issue has to do with ...

Hi Catalin,

Thanks for checking into this. I have placed screenshots here:

Hi Catalin,

I have finally gotten to this test and was able to use the .exe-based installer to successfully install my program on a brand new Windows 10 install.

I then tried this again on my development Windows 10 machine, and got the same failure as before.

Hi Catalin,

I have emailed you with a link the the .aip and installers.

Note that the .exe installer will ask whether to install .net 4.8.

The fail happens after and regardless of either allowing or declining the .net 4.8 install.

Thanks,
Gerry

I tried to open the executable using 7zip but it says 'can not open file as archive.'

But the file does start working as an installer until it fails as noted above.

Hi Catalin,

Thanks for looking over my log.

I did a sigcheck on one of my existing .msi files, then I built the installer to instead generate the executable.

The outputs from sigcheck are show below.

Then when I tried the install with the .EXE I got the same failure mode again - ' Are you sure ...

Hi Caitln,

When I right-click my executable installer file I do not see a Digital Signatures tab. This leads me to think that the .exe file is not signed. Below is screenshot link.

I was able to work around this for now by building a .msi instead of .exe.

Hi Catalin, thanks for the super quick followup.

Actually I just noticed that article now. Based on the article I have further questions. I am quoting the article to hopefully make my questions clear. Sorry if I am being a bit of a newby.

One update: on Digital Signature page Enable Signing is NOT ...

This installer is build using Advanced Installer 16.3 under Windows 10.

When I run the installer, instead of completing the installation, it fails by asking 'Are you sure you want to cancel the installation ?'

The installer was working correctly about a week ago. Maybe I am making some simple ...
