SYMPTOMS
When you install Dial-Up Networking (DUN) or virtual private network
(VPN) using the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel, you may receive
one of the following warning messages:
Caution: Microsoft has not digitally signed the software you want to
install: <device> Do you want to continue the installation?
Caution: Microsoft has not digitally signed the software you want to
install: <device>
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you use system policies, and you have enabled
the Digital Signature Check policy. The warning message you receive
depends on the level of security specified in the policy.
When you install a program using the Add/Remove Programs tool and the
Digital Signature Check policy is enabled, Setupx.dll expects a full path
statement to verify that drivers have been properly signed. When you
install DUN or VPN using the Add/Remove Programs tool, Setupx.dll receives
a file name rather than the full path statement, causing the warning
message to appear.
RESOLUTION
When you receive the warning message, click Yes if there is an option to
continue. If you do not have an option to continue, contact your system
administrator to lower the security setting for the Digital Security Check
policy.
