My msi installer had cabinet error code 11 problem.
The reason was antivirus. It blocked it, because installer accessed some forbidden registry paths.
These paths were:


hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\trust

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\trust

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\trust

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\trust

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPeople

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPeople

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPeople

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPeople

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SmartCardRoot

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SmartCardRoot

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA

hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA


The question is: why installer accesses them? What is it getting from there?
I looked throw installation log and didn`t find any entries about these paths.
