Problem

Rule groups can't be imported if any rule contains an SHA-256 installer and the installer isn't added to the Installers tab before you import the group.

NOTE: This issue occurs for both the SHA-256 and SHA-1 versions of the installer when in the same rule group because there's a different entry for each hash.

Cause

There currently is a unique constraint for the field SHA-1. The entries for installers by SHA-256 are added individually with the SHA-1 field empty when the policy is imported.
The database has a unique constraint for this field on SQL, which is why the error occurs.

When you add an installer to a rule, it's added as one entry for each hash. If it's an SHA-256 installer and you add it to a rule, an entry for the SHA-256 is created. If the installer is both SHA-1 and SHA-256, two entries are created, one for each.

Solution

You can take one of the following actions:

Remove all SHA-256 installer entries in the importing XML.
Add all SHA-256 and SHA-1 installers to the Installers tab before importing the XML.

NOTE: The SHA-256 installers must be added with both SHA-1 and SHA-256 hashes even though the extension allows you to add an installer with SHA-1 only.
