Trap for new players?.
I have been assessing IE6 on a NT4 Sp6a workstation to check for bugs / compatability problems etc with the intention of releasing to key employees at a later date if no problems arose. (have been caught before!)
All seems ok, until I go to reapply SP6a service pack.
I receive a message stating that the service pack is not 128bit encyrption, cannot apply etc.
Understand the encryption issue, no problems, however as we are in the middle of the jungle on an oceanic island we do not have the "luxury" of downloading a 34mb + file for update. I thought all SP6a where 128bit however it appears as if is not the case.
MS technet have an artical Article ID: Q292243 Last Reviewed: October 10, 2001 that mentions this issue with a fix method.
I however have not been able to get this fix method to correct my problem.
I am thinking of adventuring into the unknown and performing the following.
a) Uninstall IE6
b) Remove / replace rsaenh.dll (128bit) it seems this is causing my problems. However will this create problems for me? Will the system boot? Are there other apps like Outlook Express that utilise this?
c) Install IE5.50
d) Install SP6a
e) Cross my fingers
The machine in question is a test machine, so if it screws, I lose an hour setting it all back up, however I think that I will not be alone with this issue and would like to see if we (the collective) can achieve a fix to avoid premature balding / avoidable anger venting etc!
