Description

Current Behavior

I have downloaded ROOT binary installer from https://root.cern/download/root_v6.32.02.win64.vc17.exe. When running the executable Windows prompts that the executable is untrusted. Checking the executable shows that it’s not signed.

Because the installer is untrusted, I'm not able to install the package on my system.

Expected Behavior

The installers are signed so that they do not cause installation errors on Windows based systems.

Reproducer

  1. Download the installer from https://root.cern/download/root_v6.32.02.win64.vc17.exe
  2. Run Windows Signtool to verify the installer's signature: 
    signtool verify /pa /v <filename>

ROOT version

6.32.00 and 6.30.00

Installation method

pre-built binary

Operating system

Windows
