I am and admin use on the machine and I have one msi built for a project (built on my machine for a project) and it gives the following message.

This 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.

Is there any property i need to change in the setup project to enable it to run without giving such a message.

Thanks in advance

Hi C10,

We can call the msiexec command to install the package and set the user interface option to basic. For example:
msiexec /i c:\package.msi /qn
/qn : set the user interface option to basic.
You can get more option about msiexec command from:

You can also run the msi package as administrator like the thread below:

Let me know if this does not help.

Are youdoing a group policy install? This is the type of message you get when you do an advertised install/publish to the machine and dn't turn off the UI. The message is saying you can't have a GPO type of install that has policy being applied AND show UI. That's why it's saying that the UI can't be shown during a GPO/advertised type of install.
