Customers may vary. My customers are not computer inclined at all and 90% of time don't have IT backup. They are mechanical technicians who often who don't know the first thing about computers. If the installer doesn't work they can't do their job. The PC is an annoying tool they have to use. :)
So I use " SuppressSignatureVerification="yes"" (i.e. use hash verification) as it makes the installer more robust. I still sign my packages though.

As an IT Professional and programmer, it really bothers me when as programmers, we ignore a xritival erroor bevause we know the option to do so. I'm a proponent of a healthy system, and suppressing an error now only makes the problem worse later. As such, I have been researching the issue between my replies. Please consider at lest reading the additional link below, before taking the easy way out by suppressing the validation check: http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/06/20/the-error-0x80070490-element-not-found-when-you-are-installing-a-service-pack-or-update.aspx I believe the steps outlined must be performed on each affected machine, as the caches are local to the affected machines.
