When I try to run the Blaster patch, I get the error that
says " Setup could not verify the integrity of the file
Update.inf . Make sure the Cryptographic service is
running on this computer." I checked, and it is
running. I have tried running this patch a dozen times,
always the same answer. XP Home ver.
Hi
For WinXP, renaming or deleting the Catroot2 folder may solve the problem.
Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;326815
Follow the steps 6 to 8 in the Resolution section of above link (do a reboot
first so the computer is "fresh" before you do the steps).
Then try to install the update again.
Disregard that the link above is for SP1, the Catroot2 problem is relevant for
other updates as well. The Catroot2 problem can be avoided by installing

If renaming or deleting the Catroot2 folder doesn't help, try this (for all
Microsoft OS versions):
Check your "windows update.log" file for specific error code (the log file
is in your windows folder) and take look at this Web page:
