Francesca, as you know, I don't run windows, so I have now way of checking, but I am told that the window where the message appears should contain a clickable element that allows you to bypass the restriction and install it anyway. I believe this is what Rigoberto (who reported to have installed the snapshot successfully) did. Can you confirm, Rigoberto? More generally: this is a consequence of the fact that the new-style snapshots (also known as the "Klein" builds) are not "signed" with a certificate, as is required by the Windows OS. The "regular" snapshots (as well as the official installers) are signed by Allin, who kindly bought the certificate out of his own pocket. We're now looking into alternative solutions for dealing with this. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------_______________________________________________ Gretl-devel mailing list -- gretl-devel(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-devel-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-devel.gretlml.univpm.it/
