Am using latest version of Norton which automatically removes .msi file for SD from my PC. Seems no way of manually overriding.

Will use another PC and copy for now. But its to do with security rating of such files from SD. Has not happened before. Here is text of Norton description:

If you all want to improve the performance of your computers by 50%, uninstall the Norton bloatware!



ESET NOD32 is the best performing AV suite, alternatively, the free Microsoft Security Essentials is very good.



Norton is a serious resource hog, and it's also very intrusive as you're seeing here.
