Trouble installing ODBC on Windows client

mpompo Vertica Customer

Hi,
I downloaded windows client drivers for version 10.0.x and try to install it.
Unfortunately I get message from windows security
"Windows protected your PC"
Application not recognized. PC at risk, bla, bla, bla.

Then I downloaded version 9.3 and installation went smoothly.
As this is corporate laptop managed remotely, I can not change local security settings.
Could you advise how to install drivers for 10.0 as smooth as 9.3?
Or I can just use 9.3 drivers to connect to vertica 10.0?

Regards

    Hi,
    I just downloaded 10.0.x drivers from vertica page: https://www.vertica.com/download/vertica/client-drivers/
    Run freshly fetched exe file and got security popup.

    My system is:
    Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit
    Version 1709
    OS Build 16299.492

    Hardware (if important): Intel i7, 32GB RAM.
    Let me know if you need more details.

    Hello,
    This will not be an issue as this a valid application. We will fix it for further release. For installing the Vertica 10.0.0 driver, run the downloaded executable file and if you can click on the more info link a "Run anyway" button will appear. You can go forward from there.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    As I wrote, security settings are set to rather paranoid level and I can not change them. I don't have "Run anyway" button.
    I installed drivers in version 9.3 and it works with Vertica 10.
