If I try to install the latest windows defender the verification works OK
but I get a message when I run the .msi file: "This installation package
could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this
is a valid Windows Installer package".
How can I fix this?
I suggest you post to one of the Windows Defender newsgroups.
