klubar Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I've just downloaded what claims to be the 6.5 windows client from the Dantz site. When I go to run the downloaded .exe, IE gives a security warning that the "The publisher could not be verifed." WTF? At the prices that Dantz charges for the software they should be able to spring for a certificate to be a Windows verified software vendor. I could understand if the software was shareware, but at $1000's a site (or more) I expect better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Retrospect 6.5 is certified. http://www.dantz.com/en/about/news/detail.dtml?id=140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubar Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes, but the clients download .exe's are not. When you download a client and go to unzip it, you get a security warning. With all the spoofing and phishing go on, it's important that vendors get certified! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubar Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Also, windows certified is different than a "publisher could be verified" warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Have you tried installing the latest version, 7.0 to see if it gives the same warning? I have never seen these warnings myself during install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubar Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Actually the warning isn't during install, it's during the unpacking of the .exe download. The publisher of the .exe can't be verified. Once unloaded the application is verified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
