Generally, this error occurs when attempting to run an install with an anti-virus software that does not allow ClickOnce installations. The CRE Suite utilizes the ClickOnce installer for our desktop applications.

In most cases, running a clean install using the instructions found here will allow the user to properly install the application.

In rare cases this may not be enough. Certain computers may not have the ClickOnce trust prompt configured. After the above clean install has been attempted, follow the below instructions:

  1. Perform steps 1-6 AGAIN for the clean install. It’s important not to skip this. Clean Ribbon install steps

  2. Configure the computer to allow the ClickOnce Prompt. Instructions below have been adapted from Microsoft Support here.

  1. Open the registry editor:
  2. Click Start , and then click Run .
  3. In the Open box, type regedit (or regedit32 on 32-bit Windows), and then click OK .
  4. Find the following registry key:\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT.NETFramework\Security\TrustManager\PromptingLevelIf the key does not exist, create it.
  5. Add the following subkeys as String Value , if they do not already exist, with the associated values shown in the following table. If they do exist, right click the subkey and select “Modify” and change the respective values from “Disabled” to “Enabled”
