Software Deployment

If you want to disable it temporarily (just to launch the exe) you can use this:

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations /v LowRiskFileTypes /t REG_SZ /d .exe

then this again once you've finished (although group policy should auto-refresh and restore the security automatically)

reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations /f

Hope it helps,
Rob.

I have encounteres this before. You cannot edit any registry keys or pass any parameters to the exe in order to silence this. This information is stored within a different stream within the file.

If you goto the properties of the file however, towards the bottom you will see an 'UnBlock' button. Click this and you will no longer be prompted. You just need to make sure you use this copy of the file in your deployment.

MH,

Is this happening when you run the .exe from a network share? If so, go into IE, select security, select intranet and click on sites. Then, check the "Include all network paths (UNCs)" option.

If this work, you'd have to look into modify your GPO (If you're in AD) to enable this setting.

Good luck,
