Re: SMS Installer Open File Security Warning

You can add the environment variable through the add registry keys area,
instead of using the script item to get around that.

I remember posting the registry location a while back answering someone
else's question, but cant seem to find it right now. Let me know if you
cant figure it out and I'll track it down.

By the way how are you executing the security patch? Are you doing a
execute program script item and directly launching the exe? Are you calling
cscript or wscript first? Are you "repackaging" the original install or
just launching the executable?

Good luck,
Terry
