mikesw Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I tried to install a hotfix manually and it complained it couldn't verify it since the Cryptographic services may not be running.I verified that the Cryptographic Services isn't running nor even listed in the Services for Windows 2000.So I can't even start it since it isn't listed. It isn't listed either when I do "net start" at the command line.I read in the help files for services that Cryptographic Services are installed by default. However, I haveWin2K PRo with SP4 and patches, and it isn't installed.How do I get the Cryptographic Services installed and running under Win2K services?I see that my WIn XP SP2 work PC has this service running.
cluberti Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 The cryptographic service isn't a "service" in the SCM on Windows 2000, it runs in kernel and is always running - you won't see it in the services list.Try running regsvr32 on the following .dlls, reboot, and see if things work:wintrust.dll initpki.dll dssenh.dll rsaenh.dll gpkcsp.dll sccbase.dll slbcsp.dll cryptdlg.dll
RJARRRPCGP Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 You must unregister the following DLLs then reboot:regsvr32 /u wintrust.dllregsvr32 /u initpki.dllregsvr32 /u dssenh.dllregsvr32 /u rsaenh.dllregsvr32 /u gpkcsp.dllregsvr32 /u slbcsp.dllregsvr32 /u cryptdlg.dllWarning, Windows File Protection will be triggered after you reboot.Windows File Protection will think that files were modified! They weren't modified! So just click "Cancel".Then re register the following DLLs:regsvr32 wintrust.dllregsvr32 initpki.dllregsvr32 dssenh.dllregsvr32 rsaenh.dllregsvr32 gpkcsp.dllregsvr32 slbcsp.dllregsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
mikesw Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 Thanks, I did all of the above but it still complains it can't verify the structure of update.inf or thatsecurity services is not running.Can a hotfix be installed without a catalog file assuming I comment out the catalog file statement inthe update.inf?can a hotfix be installed whereby the catalog file is not signed? I assume that I'll get a warning sayingthat the files aren't signed WHQL(?).Is there a tool that can verify that the update.inf file doesn't contain any mistakes or missing directivesthat appear in [] 's? and tell which line number is having the problem.I'm trying to figure out work-arounds to the problem.Note the hotfix has been extracted to a directory and I'm selecting the "update.exe" file to install the hotfix.
gosh Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I dont know about win2k, but in xp when you run sigverif.exe it creates a log file in the windows directory that says what is signed. It seems people of late are having this problem. It very well could be a bug with a hotfix. Post the log file for the hotfix or service pack you're installing, it'll prob be in the windows directory.-gosh
