Hi all

I try to install a windows serviceon a windows 2003 server with an msi file (Generated in Visual studio (Setup Project)). Did it on different servers and it worked. only on one i get the message:

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

I'm administrator on the machine.

How do i set it to basic or get rid of that error? tried already to use the option: "msiexec /i <path to mai file> /qn" but it didn't install the service...


thanks for your help
Jörgen

Hello Jörgen,

To set the UI level to basic, you can use the /qb parameter in the msiexec command line.

Besides, when you say you're admin on that machine, do you mean the local admin or the domain admin?

And is this package previously installed on that machine (but could be failed)?

Thanks,
Jie
