Hello folks,

found while revisiting some SIMATIC WinCC V15.1 Runtime installer tickets of
mine.

The failure happens during installation of 'Automation License Manager'
component. Default 64-bit WINEPREFIX (Windows 7). It is considered critical and
blocks further installation.

Running the tool directly, simulating sub-installer call:

The '%windir%\\security' directory is apparently used by Windows Security
Center / Windows security policy tools and is by default present on Windows 7+.
