vasilis Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 hi to all in the forum.i have problem installing sp1...after verifying and decompressing the files, a meesage pops saying:"Setup could not verify the integrity of the update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic servive is running on this computer."I checked in "Services" and the above one is already running. i stoped and restarted it, but nothing. the message pops again.i thought that it could be a bad download of sp1. so i tried one from a magazine's cd. the same.i am logged of course as administrator. i am thinking of re-installing xp as my last option.furthermore i dont think that it has anything to do with the "illegal key" issue.could the problem be in the "update.inf" only? can anyone provide a link with just this file? any other suggestions?vasilis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilis Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 ok. i found the solution to the problem.according to microsoft, the solution is to rename the folder "catroot2" in something else and then install the sp1a.it worked!vasilis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 If I had been you, I would've made a slipstreamed CD with XP SP1a on it and done an update of XP without overwriting any of my programs, except for the files used by Windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
