Installed exe on Vista [modified]

[Rafone]

I had one of my apps installed on a Vista machine the other day for the first time. Had a lot of issues but ultimatly it turned out to be that I had to go to properties of the exe and choose Unblock. Then everything worked fine. Since this is the first time I've installed on Vista I'm wondering if this is a known issue..if so is there documentation somewhere to work around this. My app and the install package were built with VS2008 it is a C# app targeting dotNet Framework 2.0 I have installed this on hundreds of XP/2k machines and never seen this before. tia Rafone

I don't believe there is a way around the vista protection short of turning it off completely. vista is crap. =\

Apps get blocked if they come from a memory stick, or from the web. If you install them with an msi, this will not happen. But yes, I do agree with the other poster that Vista sucks.

This was from a msi with a setup.exe made by VS 2008 setput project. I'm afraid I don't have control over the vista box's. As leases are running out that's what the PC's are being replaced with. I'm just glad I found confirmation and a work around this fast!! thanks rafone
