Aaaah, this drives me nuts! I ported some neat little program from  
X11 (yes, pure X11) to MS Windows, using Visual Studio 2005  
throughout the project. Now I want to send the executable to the  
users, but that doesn't work that simple.

I have been taught over the last three days that I *must* use the  
Microsoft Installer via an MSI file. Where would we be in this world  
if users could just drag an app onto their desktop and launch it?

So I set up and installer using the Microsoft tutorials. The  
resulting MSI works for a handful of testers, but about half of them get

"This advertised application will not be installed because it might  
be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user  
interface option of the package to basic."

Could anyone tell me how to set this mysterious "basic" bit? Or what  
else I can do to get a working-for-all msi file out?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: sorry that this may be off-topic, but we are talking about a very  
simple FLTK tool. No fancy libraries, nothing. I read MS Mailing  
lists up and down, but they seem mostly to refer to other versions of  
VisulStudio. I am lost.
