      My system is blocking Office add-ins

      Some computers are configured in a way that blocks Office add-ins. This restricts Grunt from being installed on your system.

      How can I resolve this issue

      The easiest way to fix this issue is to download a fixer that updates the registry on your system.

      1. Download the registry fixer
      2. Double-click the file to run it
      3. Press "Yes" if Windows prompts you to change the registry
      4. Run the Grunt-installer again

      Alternate solution

      If the steps above were successful, you don't need to complete the rest of the steps below.

      Note:
      If you rather want to change the registry manually, you can follow this step-by-step guide.

      How to manually apply the registry fix

      1. Press Win+R and type "regedit" to open the Registry Editor
      2. Press "Yes" if Windows prompts you to open the Registry Editor
      3. Locate the following path
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NETFramework\Security\TrustManager\PromptingLevel
      4. Locate the Key with the name "MyComputer"
      5. Change the Value to "Enabled"
      6. Run the Grunt-installer again
