Aris Express 2.3 "Failed to validate certificate" Error

I apologies, my original entry was not posted in it's entirety, so here is the missing information:



The first dialog box:



"Do you want to run this application?  The application's digital signature has expired"



The error dialog box:



"Failed to validate certificate.  The application will not be executed."



Java Version:



Version 7 Update 9



Additional Information:



From the Java Control Panel/security/certificates, there is no Trusted Certificate entry for IDS Scheer AG.



The details of the error message are:



java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\trusted.certs (Access is denied)

Hello,

First of all: there is a bug in the new Java version 7, which prevents ARIS Express to start.

<http://www.ariscommunity.com/users/frank-weyand/2012-08-27-important-problems-starting-aris-express-bug-oracles-jre-jav…;

If you installed the new version, maybe per automatical update, you need to go back to an older version of Java.

Sorry for any inconveniences. I hope, the new JRE version, where the bug have been fixed, will be released soon.

About the certificate: yes, this is out of date. In the next version, we will use a new certificate (we do not have a time frame for that).

But generally, there is no change in ARIS Express itsself, so, with an outdated certificate or not, you can nevertheless use Express.

Bye,

Frank
