Hi,
Windows reports the error : publisher unknown, during the installation of both Octane server and blender installers.
It seems that the .exe are not signed.
(30.3.0 and 30.4.0 versions)

Does the installation happen if you allow it?
I always have to authorize the installation to make it happen.

Hello, I didn't try to go further since a non signed .exe is not normal for a legit software. It means that the .exe could have been hacked and modified by anybody, adding malicious code. That's why an .exe must be signed.
One cannot install a non signed software in a professional environment.
Here is an old post where an Octane team member fixed the problem:
