Trusted Installer

Hi Diane ,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I see that you are facing issues when you are trying to delete files.

Trusted installer's main function is to enable installation, removal and modification of Windows Updates and optional system components.

For this issue, I suggest that you try to change the ownership of the file that you are not able to delete and check if the issue persist.

Please login to administrator account before performing the below steps.

Follow the steps mentioned below to change the ownership of the file or folder:

• Press and hold the folder that you want to take ownership of, then tap
  Properties. (If you are using a mouse, right-click the folder, and then click
  Properties.)
• Tap or click the Security tab, tap or click Advanced, then tap or click
  Change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Type the name of the person that you want to give ownership to, and then click
  Check Names.
• Note: the account name for the person that you are assigning ownership to is displayed.
• Click OK.
• If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders that are contained in this folder, select the
  Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
• Click OK.

After trying all the above steps I would suggest you to try deleting the specific file which you weren’t able to delete.

Reply us if you have further queries we will be glad to assist you.

Unable to install Trusted Certificate for WORD

Hello! Bryan Koyano

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community

The error message you’re encountering while trying to install a trusted certificate for Microsoft Word indicates that the certificate used to sign the deployment manifest for the add-in is not trusted. Allow me to ask:

• Is this happening to other Office programs?
  
• What version and edition of Office do you have installed in your device? Example: Personal/Family/Enterprise?
  
  • You can open any Office apps
    
  • Go to File > Accounts - on the right side you can see Product Information
    
• Is this happening to other devices? or just this device?
  
• Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Office on your device?
  

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Check Certificate Trust:
   
   • Ensure that the certificate you’re using is valid and trusted. If it’s self-signed, make sure it’s added to the trusted root certificate authorities on your system.
     
   • Verify that the certificate’s location (file path) is accessible and not blocked by any security policies.
     
2. Office Add-In Trust Settings:
   
   • Open Word and go to File > Options.
     
   • Select the Trust Center tab.
     
   • Click on Trust Center Settings.
     
   • Navigate to the Trusted Locations tab.
     
   • Add the folder containing your add-in files (including the certificate) as a trusted location.
     
3. Uninstall/Reinstall office.
   
   • Go to Start menu > Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
     
   • Locate your Microsoft Office and click Modify
     
   • Click Uninstall and follow the instructions for uninstalling Office.
     
   • Restart your device.
     
4. To reinstall Office in your device:
   
   1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/ sign in with your account.
      
   2. Click the Install button - this should download your Officesetup.exe to your device.
      
   3. Run the Officesetup.exe
      
   4. Follow the steps for installing Office in your device.
      

Remember to consult your system administrator if you need further assistance. Hopefully, these steps will help you resolve the certificate trust issue and successfully install your Word add-in!

I hope this helps!

Thank you,

Vince
