This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe.

[Angela]

Still having problems with my Web Setup App.

I deleted the registry keys for my installer because it
refused to uninstall when I ran the uninstaller, and
having the previus version on my machine prevented me from
installing a newer version.

Now I'm getting a new error:
"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."

Help

Hi Angela,

It is not safe to delete the registry key from MSI package directly. I
think the root cause for the problem is you can't uninstall your previous
version. You may try this utility to remove it:
