Verifying the SuitePeople Time Clock for Windows Installer
To verify the integrity of the Windows application file installed, you can compare the hash code of the downloaded installer with the designated WFM hash code.
The designated WFM installer hash code is available on the Download Time Clock Apps window, as noted in Step 3 of the procedure To install SuitePeople Time Clock components for Windows:.
To verify the Windows app installer:
-
After noting the installer hash code, open Windows PowerShell. For reference, read the article Starting Windows PowerShell.
-
In the following command, replace
path to installer
with the file path for the installer file. For example, replace it withC:\Users\user\Downloads\timeclock_2_0_1_0.exe
.Get-FileHash path to installer -Algorithm SHA512 | Format-List
-
Run the command.
The window displays the results of the command. In the following example, the set of numbers in bold formatting represents the hash code.
Get-FileHash C:\Users\user\Downloads\timeclock_2_0_1_0.exe -Algorithm SHA512 | Format-List Algorithm : SHA512 Hash : 1235C1E7F9DBC8CBEA6924D0CAA1B62C53034044A255C824F6ABA8175AA2DF1396A62C31F5FD03332678CE9D74C5512CEE4AE71762D9D2BC8487A707C21A5123 Path : C:\Users\user\Downloads\timeclock_2_0_1_0.exe
-
Compare this hash code with the hash code on the WFM window.
If the codes are similar, proceed to Step 6 of the procedure To install SuitePeople Time Clock components for Windows:.
If the hash codes are different, the installer file may have been modified. In this case, do not run the installer. Perform security measures following the policies of your organization.
