MSI file is changed before installation is started

Postby damjan » Thu May 21, 2020 4:40 am

Hi guys

We have been using your software for a decade and just recently we figured something interesting.
Once a user runs the installation to the point where the "Apply Install" action is executed the .MSI file get updated and changed. So that the temporary folder does not have the same .MSI file anymore.

Is there a way to prevent this update (change). We would need this because when a company enables AppLocker in Local Security Policy and sets that all windows installer files must be signed then the installation fails.

Kind Regards

Damjan

Damjan,

- are non-admins performing the install?
- are you using Transform Instance command?

Can you please send your reply to: support@installaware.com? Thanks!
