Group policy is blocking the installer from running in app data ( due to security) Help!

We cant run go to assist since yesterday, no changes our side, could it be that the installer location has changed to users/appdata ?

    I don't know if I'm allowed to put links in here, but the solution at this one was the answer that worked, must give credit where creit is due. Thank you, Kevin Arrows! Author! #2 worked. (And thanks to my IT guy for finding this article.)

Hi Derrick,
Were you able to grant access to the path '\Software\LogMeInInc\GoTo Opener' ?

When the launcher downloads an installer for GoToAssist it first creates the executable as an empty file, then populates it with the data afterwards. Some firewall/proxies will block this request and substitute a common error message instead, but this is not delivered to the end user and instead into the .exe that was created. This causes the .exe to fail with the error when run by the Launcher.

See if you can also whitelist the following URL *.getgocdn.com in the firewall or proxy.
