The default behavior is for Internet Explorer to warn users and select whether to allow or refuse installation when a web-based program attempts to install software on the system. If this needs to be corrected, configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Windows Installer >> "Prevent Internet Explorer security prompt for Windows Installer scripts" to "Not Configured" or "Disabled". |
