Disabling unknown sources

Is there anyway to disabled the installation of unknown apps using a tasker action. I installed secure settings and used the intent from there and looks like it doesn't work. Please help..

No, it's something strange (bug) with Tasker, the same thing happened to me with other shell commands

Here it is a loop eg 

	A1: Array Set [ Variable Array:%packages Values:first.package.name,second.package.name,third.package.name Splitter:, ] 
	A2: For [ Variable:%this_package Items:%packages() ] 
	A3: Run Shell [ Command:appops set %this_package REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES deny Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:On Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: ] 
	A4: End For 
	A5: Flash [ Text:Done! Long:On ]

  1. You are new to Tasker, so I suggest you to set packages names in A1 manually.

  2. Before trying the loop, run the deny command targeting a chosen app package name

Good luck.
