Compiler: CGT Tools 7.3.22 - zip file needed - Windows Defender and Publisher stop install



Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I need to get the CGT toolset 7.3.22 to my workstation, but Windows Defender does not like an exe without the publisher info.  Can you send me a link to a zip file of the directory?  

Thanks, 

Will 

  • Do you have Code Composer Studio (CCS) installed?  If so, you can install version 7.3.22 tools from within CCS, then create a zip file from that.

    To learn how to install version 7.3.22 tools from within CCS, use the procedures shown in this forum thread.  Then the compiler will be installed in location similar to 

    C:\ti\ccs901\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-c6000_7.3.22

    Create the zip file from there.

    In the mean time, I'll look into why the compiler installer is not signed.

    Thanks and regards,

  • Hi George,

           Thank you for your response.  I read the solution, but it has the "you can go to the internet" feel to it.  We're locked down tight where software updates can't be done through any application interface, such as Code Composer Studio. 

          I will say, I was lucky enough to find a Windows 7 machine and then unpacked it (ran the exe) there.  The rules on our Windows 10 machine are too strict that publisher info is needed.   

    All more details than you need, but its the security paradigm that might be a good justification for providing a zip to customers.

    Note:     Moving to 7.3.22 helps us fix an Windows ASLR issue with binaries, and we're only able to make small incremental updates (from 7.3.3) at this time.  7.3.13 has the ASLR fix. 

    Thanks,

    Will
