Annoying Windows Security dialogs during NI Driver installation

[zou]

Got tons of annoying Windows Security dialogs while installing NI drivers.

Somehow the option "Always trust software form "National Instruments Corporation" doesn't work.

The NI Package Manager is launched as admin.

Don't have this kind of problem before.  Very annoying.  That means I've to babysit the installation, which last hours!

And this dialog for DAQ popup repeatedly.

Already installed the latest NI Package Manager.

Is there a way to get around this?

Hi zou,

when I used NIPM last week to install the LV2020 update it offers to install/update NI certificates first: that will avoid those "do you trust?" dialogs…

Hi Gerd

Today I tried to install NI Platform service 20.5 and NI DCPower 20.6.

First I upgrade the NI Package Management and also update the NI Certification Installation.

After reboot the IPC, I start install  NI Platform service 20.5 and NI DCPower 20.6..

But this annoying Windows Security dialogs still pop up about more than 20 times.

Is there has any specific steps to update NI Certificates?

Thank you

When you say..

>> The NI Package Manager is launched as admin.

Did that mean you are an administrator or you ran the the installer using "Run As Administrator".  Even if you are an admin we found the second method, running installer specifically using "Run As Admin" worked when you select "Always accept from NI", meaning it actually did not prompt again. 

We started two install to run over the weekend once and forgot to do that on the second machine and it stalled waiting for input on additional drivers and had to be prompted ad nauseam to finish.  

Good luck.

Unfortunately, that Microsoft dialog is confusing, and doesn't actually do what that checkbox implies it does.

However, the solution is that on the install of any NI signed driver, one of the pre-selected, recommended packages will be NI Certificates. If that package is allowed to install, then no popups should be shown. The necessary version of the the NI Certificate will always be included with the product being installed.
