setup error with msblaster patch load -could not verify integrity of the file update.

[camposmv]

When trying to load the patch for msblaster.exe, get set up error. could not verify the integrity of the file update.inf. Make sure the crytographic service is running on this computer. Help! I don't know what to do to get the crytographic service running so I can install the virus patch.

 

[Logical_1]

Windows XP I assume. Try this:

Right-click "My Computer"
Left-click "Manage"
Left-click the [+] by "Services and Applications"
Left-click "Services"
Scroll down to "Cryptography Service"
Left-click on it, then right-click on it
Left-click on "Start"
Close the window (click the 'X' at the top right)

Try to install the patch.

The Cryptographic Service needs the RPC Service to be running -- and the worm works by crashing the RPC Service (forcing you to reboot)

One way to get around it:

Download and save the patch. Reboot computer with your Internet connection disabled or unplugged and then run the patch.

Or you can follow Logical_1's instructions-- when you try to start The Cryptographic Service, Windows should also start the Remote Procedure Call service automatically. Or go ahead and "Start" the Remote Procedure Call service manually from that same screen.

I'm assuming you are trying to install the Microsoft patch? Make sure you do (go to Windows Update)


Once you install the patch from Microsoft, you still need to remove the worm from your system or you will keep spreading it to other people. So look here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html (go way to the bottom and look for Removal Instructions.) Download the little tool.

I am getting this same error message on a Sony Vaio laptop.

My Crypto services and RPC are, and have always been, running.

When I go to Windows Update, I receive the message about Active X controls, but Active X is enabled on this box.

When I try to install the blaster update from a floppy, I get the 'Integrity of update.inf' message.

I have stopped and started Crypto services and renamed some catroot file, which was the fix offered on the MS KB.

Any other suggestions?

msblaster patch problem

Milk - I'm in your boat. I'm running XP Home Edition and have tried to install the patch about 14 times after various fix attempts.

- Checked Crypt setting and it was on, despite error message.
- Tried patch install w/ Crypt turned off, then tried again when back on.
- Ran Symantec's FixBlast which claimed to have fixed all damage and tried again, no luck.
- eMachines gave me a way to turn Cryp off and on via the command prompt, no luck.
- Tried running patch with and without internet service.
- Did cntrl-alt-del and repeatedly killed the msblast.exe file from the Task Manager before patch install attempts
- Tried various combinations of foul language and withering stares, no luck.

Has anyone found the fix to the patch to the worm that exploited the hole that the sloppy software company created?

This problem was happening well before the blaster virus for me.

I dont have the virus, I just cant go to Windows Update or apply a patch from a file.

Sucks.

Possible clue for patch install error

I may have found the answer on another chat site. A dozen or so people had the same problem many of us are having with the patch install producing the "Cannot verify crypt service" error.

I have to try this tonight, but their text is below. It was followed by about ten "it worked" messages.

Here's hoping it helps at least some of us..




Nice job Mark, worked like a charm. I had to include a few more DLLs for this to also work for Service Pack 1a.

regsvr32 mssip32.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Thanks for this one. Major time saver!

A friend of mine was having this problem. She finally got it working by re-registering
all these dlls. I know it sounds weird, but it worked. Not sure if it worked in combination
with other solutions posted here because she had previously tried them all, but I would try this:

Start->Run->cmd
net start cryptsvc (to make sure it's running)
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
exit

(she then ran the patch but it failed, so you may want to reboot at this point) after reboot, patch worked!

Good luck.

Kick ass!

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

I hope you have the same success when you try this from home.

Thanks again!

 

[Rapmaster]

Cool.

There's a way to tell Windows to stop worrying about verifying the integrity but I guess that's a bit dangerous.

stop the integrity check ??

Well if you know how i would be prepared to try that since i am a network admin and will have full control of what i pass to the xp boxes. But i CANNOT get the blaster patch to install for this error.
if you know how prevent the certificate check i would be interested

this can effect windows 2k too so manually remove the virus and rename the Catroot folder (there is no Catroot 2 folder on 2k ) install the patch and it will create an new folder for catroot folder and rebboot and all is well

I faced the same error on Win 2000 as well, and the trouble was that crpyotgraphic services was not even installed( where is the question of enabling or disabling it )

even
Start->Run->cmd
net start cryptsvc (to make sure it's running) this fails with the following error
>The service name is invalid.

>More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.

However I simply tried running all of the below commands in cmd prompt regsvr32 mssip32.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll


regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
exit

A few of the commands failed too. But after running all of the above commands I tried re-installing the patch and it worked.

Still failing

Hi,

my symptoms seem worse - nearly all services are stopped (msconfig)

I cant start any of them (cant right click and get properties for start-up etc)

i get
'system error 1075 has occured.
the dependacy service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.'

I can't start any services at all that are currently stopped - all with the same/similar error message.

I have this on 2 laptops (XP home & XP Pro)
