[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 900513, member: 32260"] This fragment is not from the actual manual, but from the older version.(y):) In the actual version we have: [B]How to install applications on Windows 8+ with the H_C Recommended Settings.[/B] Forced SmartScreen feature is available only on Windows 8+. In the Recommended Settings, the Forced SmartScreen feature is integrated with <Update Mode> = ON. So, the "Install By SmartScreen" entry in the right-click Explorer context menu can be used to install applications. This works well for EXE and MSI standalone installers. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]When <Update Mode> is[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]set to ON, the installation process does not force high privileges and the application[/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]always installs in the right user profile.[/COLOR][/B] The "Install By SmartScreen" entry will not work for non-standalone installers, for example when the installation must be done from CD/DVD drives, CD/DVD images, archives containing the installation files copied from CD/DVD, etc. In such cases, the user must disable default-deny protection temporarily with SwitchDefaultDeny tool, and install the application normally without using "Install By SmartScreen". [B]How to install applications on Windows 7 (Vista) with the H_C Recommended Settings.[/B] 1.Use the SwitchDefaultDeny tool to turn OFF the protection temporarily (SRP rules are automatically refreshed). 2. Install the application normally (by using left mouse-click or pressing the Enter key). 3.Whitelist the application if it was installed in UserSpace. 4.Use the SwitchDefaultDeny tool again to turn ON the protection (SRP rules are automatically refreshed). [B] How to update applications with the H_C Recommended Settings.[/B] On Windows 8+ the applications usually can auto-update without problems. The manual updates with standalone EXE or MSI installers can be done via "Install By SmartScreen" entry in the right-click Explorer context menu. If the Recommended Settings are applied on Windows 7 (Vista), then the H_C protection should be temporarily turned off to allow software updates. The user should be very cautious to run only safe executables. [B]How to update applications with H_C's custom default-deny settings.[/B] 1. Use the SwitchDefaultDeny tool to switch OFF the Default Deny Protection temporarily (SRP rules are automatically refreshed). 2. Install the application normally. 3. Switch ON the Default Deny Protection (SRP rules are automatically refreshed). :)(y) [/QUOTE]
