‘Publisher could not be verified’ Messages

You may experience a ‘Publisher could not be verified’ message before each of the separate upgrade files run.  Clicking OK on each message will allow the upgrade to continue, but clearly this can be time-consuming.

To stop the message appearing:

1. Go to Start / Run type gpedit.msc then click OK.

2. Go to User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Attachment Manager.

3. Click Add *.exe to the Inclusion list for moderate risk file types setting.

Upgrade completes on the Server, but workstations are not upgrading

1. Launch SIMS .net from Start / All Programs / SIMS Modules insteasd of from a desktop icon.

2. If this does not cause the workstation to upgrade go to Start / Run and type g:/sims/setups/Simsapplicationsetup.exe.
