Re: Server Certificate Invalid or not present.

On some Windows 7 computers, I am getting the following error message:

Server Certificate Invalid or not present.

It happens when the setup program execute the command: 

DownloadPage.Download;

and then the download failed. 

Is there anyway to solve this issue?

Most likely these computers haven't been properly updated using Windows Update and because of this don't support this servers certificate.

Hi,

Is there any workaround or solution for this case? We can't force all people to update their Windows.

If you want to support old versions of Windows you need to host files on http instead of https.

Here is how I get around it:

Download the rootCA cert for the HTTPS download server you are using (you can just get this from your webbrowser).

Then download "certmgr.exe" from microsoft (google it).

Then add both the cert file and certmgr.exe as [Files] to the installer.

Then add a [Run] section to run certmgr and have the cert added, you will have to look up the various arguments.

Then do your downloads.
