Cryptographic Service Error

[jessicabailey]

I am having a problem trying to install W2K SP4 on my Windows 2000 system. I am receiving the following error: "Setup could not verify the integrity of the file UPDATE.INF. Make sure the Cryptographic Service is running on this computer."

I should point out that I have found references to this exact error but everything I have read refers to XP, not 2000. Also all of the tips I have read say to enable the Cryptographic Service on the system, but when I go to services there is no CRYPTOGRAPHIC SERVICE.

Should there be a service listed? If not what do I do? I am unable to install any patches on my box, I really don't want to reinstall the OS if I can avoid it.

If this service is supposed to be here does anyone know how to get it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Jessica

Jessica,

I have exactly the same problem. Did anyone ever answer your question? Does anyone have a solution to this?

This fixes are for xp, but you might want to try

I believe it's asking for the IIS based on this article

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...03/enterprise/proddocs/en-us/iis_security.asp

It's in IIS 6.0 security features, 4th one down.

Hope this helps.

There is no place like 127.0.0.1

Thanks - I will look into that. I should have time this evening to try to do the service pack install again.
