As we prepare to ship a large minor upgrade<\/a> known as Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1<\/a>, I’d like to again remind you that large files – not just Windows Installer packages – that must pass through a SAFER check may fail because enough contiguous memory cannot be allocated on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. I have posted a workaround<\/a>, but wanted to note that a more automation-friendly method can be used.<\/p>\n

If you run into this problem, you can disable the SAFER check for local administrators by following these instructions as well as those documented previously:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set the DWORD value PolicyScope to 1 in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsSaferCodeIdentifiers key\n<\/li>\n
  2. Run “net stop msiserver” (without quotes)\n<\/li>\n
  3. Install the EXE or MSP (if you extracted the MSP from the EXE).\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is recommended that you reset this value back to 0 when finished. The SAFER check is there to help protect users from malicious files, which is especially important if you’re an administrator on the system.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
