This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe.

Still having problems with my Web Setup App.

I deleted the registry keys for my installer because it
refused to uninstall when I ran the uninstaller, and
having the previus version on my machine prevented me from
installing a newer version.

Now I'm getting a new error:
"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."

Hi Angela,

It is not safe to delete the registry key from MSI package directly. I
think the root cause for the problem is you can't uninstall your previous
version. You may try this utility to remove it:

"Microsoft Security Announcement: Have you installed the patch for
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026?? If not Microsoft strongly advises
you to review the information at the following link regarding Microsoft
Security Bulletin MS03-026
http://www.microsoft.com/security/se...s/ms03-026.asp and/or to
visit Windows Update at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com to install the
patch. Running the SCAN program from the Windows Update site will help to
insure you are current with all security patches, not just MS03-026."
