@v-xianya can you try repro'ing this again tonight? I'm wondering if it was a transient issue, as I could not reproduce. If you do reproduce, please share your Storage Explorer log files to this issue. Thanks!

@v-xianya , while on a machine that repros this problem can you please do the following investigation:

0. Uninstall any previously installed version of Storage Explorer
1. Download this version of Storage Explorer: https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/releases/download/v1.29.1/StorageExplorer-windows-ia32.exe
2. Right click on the .exe > Properties
3. Share a screenshot like the one below (you'll need to go to the "Digital Signatures" tab of the Properties dialog, then click "View Certificate" on the "Digital Signatures Details" dialog.
4. Try installing that version of Storage Explorer - let us know if successful
5. If successful, see if it offers to update. If not successful, please try the remaining steps from version 1.30.0.
6. Click "Install Now"
7. Let us know if the installer launches or a webpage is opened
