SHA-2 code signing support update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 #159

Closed b-user closed 6 months ago

b-user commented 6 months ago

When I try to install FortFirewall-3.10.5-test0-windows-x86.exe on Windows 7 (in case Windows does not have "sha2/sha256 signature support"; when the driver file signature is invalid), the message "This program is not compatible with Windows 7 (KB4474419 required)."

I don't understand: a. What does it mean b. where to get KB4474419

Perhaps this means: A. https://support.microsoft.com/help/4474419 (they write something here. But it’s not clear why I should read this. I’m more interested in what to do in such a situation.) B. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4474419 (again, it’s not clear which one)

Perhaps a better option would be: . clearer "install this and install that" instructions . It’s even better to install it automatically: now this and that will be installed + warning about reboot/need to reboot.

I would say that it is not Fort's problem to find how to install the KB4474419 :-D

B. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4474419 (again, it’s not clear which one)

If it is a Windows 7 32-bit version, then this: 2019-09 Security Update for Windows 7 for x86-based Systems (KB4474419). For Windows 7 64-bit version: 2019-09 Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4474419).

We can add a note to FAQ.

I'm just describing the user experience and making suggestions for improving user friendships.
