All our MSI installers have required admin permission, because they are installing a shell extension and the C runtime that they link with. There were a few revisions where our installers were not signed, and that raised a few warning flags, but the last 2-3 releases have been signed again. I'm not aware of any other warnings about the 2.5.0 packages. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
