Problems in installing software in vista

If you want to disable message from Windows, here is a tip that you can try.
Before trying please create a system restore point, to be on the safe side. Then try this:

– Open Internet Explorer
– On Tools go to Internet Options
– Go to Security tab > Local Intranet icon > Select Sites
– Click on the Advanced button
– Then Uncheck Require Server Verification option

– Add the name of your server or domain of the software, and click Add.
The server name should be the one which appears after the ‘From’ in the Windows Security warning dialogue.

– Be sure that you include symbols \ . You should see Filename//Servername in the box.
– When it needs to disable the security dialogue box for ALL .exe files, you can add the following key to your Windows registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows
CurrentVersionPoliciesAssociations]
“LowRiskFileTypes”=”.exe

Modifying the Windows registry might cause serious damage to your Windows Operating System.
I suggest it is better to backup your Windows registry data before making any changes.

This is not a problem actually. Windows allows only those software to be installed without any such error popup if the software is digitally signed by vendor. If it was not digitally signed then you will get such error. Just click "Install anyway" which will prompt you during installation.
