c#installshield

create a friendly setup for my c# app using install shield app

i am using VS2015 and i am using Install Shield Lite to create a setup.

I use the option of creating a 'singleimage'

the file produced is setup.exe.

The only trouble with this is that is this file is downloaded from my server via a browser window and as such invokes' several warning messages to the user (targeting Window 10 OS) which could put off a potential customer from trying my demo.

Am I right in thinking a MSI file would not trigger these warnings and if so is it possible to create using InstallShield please?

Thanks

  • If the installer is not signed by a authenticode signature you will often run in to problems like this. Get a code signing certificate and sign the installer and it may solve your issues.
