getting mesage publisher can not be trusted, unable to install app

Trying to install irfanview.....get error message untrustworthy publisher...

researched ed how to solve this, but having no luck, have unblocked file and running as admin...

tried ed elevated command prompt and Net user administrator /active:yes

this enables the admin login and I am able to install without issue, but select for all users...

Is there a simpler cleaner way of doing this from my original user account...?

thanks

Hi
yes that's why I was looking for a ' proper' solution....

thanks

maybe, hopefully I can get an answer
thanks

try installing again maybe ,and when you get the error take a close look at it and see if there is any hint as to who/what /where the message is coming from. also when you get the error message ,look for a check box or click on ,to install anyway ,that what on got from other software installs.

edit-- check this for untrusted publishers ..

To unblock a software publisher:
1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
2. Go to the Content tab, Look under the Certificates section.
3. Click on Publishers button.
4. Select the Untrusted Publishers tab.
5. Select the Publisher you wish to unblock and click the Remove button."


edit 2-- when you try install it do you get to where it asks to associate it with different file types ,if yes ,check off none and see if it goes any further in the install .
