problem with cryptographic service...

[pyber]

Ok, I posted on here earlier about not being able to
install the msblast.exe patch (KB8223980 Setup cannot
verify Update.inf...). Thanks to the resondents, by the
way. My problem now is, I tried both options, and this
was the results:

Thru Command Prompt: It says that I can't start
cryptographic service because the system is not set up for
it.

Via the other way: It says that cryptographic service is
running, and everything checks out on it. I stopped and
restarted it. No effect. I stopped it, restarted the
system, and it showed up once again as running.

After all attempts, I still got the same original error
message:
"Setup could not verify the integrity of Update.inf. Make
sure cryptographic service is running on this computer."

For anyone who didn't read my last post, msblast.exe HAS
been removed from the system, and Internet connectivity is
not the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:
1.. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
2.. Double-click Services.
3.. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
4.. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.
5.. Install the patch again, if the problem persists, go to Step 6.

6.. Click Start, and then click Run.
7.. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
8.. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after
each line:

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

9.. Type exit to close the command prompt, and then install patch again

In your original post, you made no mention of the REName command for the
CATROOT2 folder. If you don't do this step, it won't work.

Rename the folder windows\system32\catroot2 and reboot. You can then
delete the renamed folder - a new one will have been made which the
service can handle

Then get - only - Q817287 and install it, which should now be OK. It
is itself the cure; you should then be able to carry on with other
updates, and the problem will not recur
