Hi All,

I have the beast built at home (an effort!) it worked at home (created directories & icons).
Get to work (late, but worked late yesterday) open up directory containing MSI find the icon for the MSI missing...when run it starts fine, gets to a stage "The system administrator has polices to prevent this installation", great, but I am logged on as System admin, last night on home machine I had an effort to create the installer but it worked, what has changed as I could run it with Admin rights, which I can't do here (?), it had a nice icon which it doesn't here (?), to make matters worse it was built using the same version of Visual Studio.

Glenn (I need to find a VB free zone a fast!)

Update: I am building on the desktop, and the message has changed to 'The 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' Many tears...
What is going wrong here ? Installers are a pain!!

Probably, it's your Group Policies rather than an Admin permissions issue. Have a look here: http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2010/070710-tech-update.html[^] or find out who has the policy admin rights for your local group - and kick him! :laugh:

Rebooted, One thing I have noticed is if rebuild on the desktop it still does not included the icon properly... even if I rebuild the file, what is happening...
