  • 1.  Open file security warning when i'm executing Office 2007 SP2 along with hotfix

    Posted Dec 01, 2009 08:56 AM
    Hi everybody,
    i'm trying to install Office 2007 Service Pack 2 along with a hotfix. I wrote a custom action [vbscript], which will install the hotfix in silent mode. But when i execute the package, i'm getting across this Open File security warning message. How to get rid of this?

    Thanks in advance.

    The other way to beat this is to strip off the additional file stream (the "Zone.Identifier") on the file.  One way that should work is to copy the file to a non-NTFS drive (FAT32), and/or copying to a network share may also remove that file stream that AES is checking.  Then when you push it out that file stream will be gone and the warning won't pop up.

    If you are trying to install an update OR hotfix using VBScript then there is a Microsoft article about this warning message. Follow the link below:

    This is why I would love to "HATE" Microsoft.

    I tried as it was mentioned in the Microsoft KB article. Copied piece of code inside my vbscript custom action and it seems to be working. However i will give it a try as Kyle suggested and let you know. thank you for your suggestions.

    Personally I like stripping the file stream off, then you don't have to remember to do anything special in your package/custom action.  Whatever works for you though!
