SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Windows NT Service Pack (SP4) as a prerequisite to the install of the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP), the following error message may occur:
CAPI: The install failed. The rsabase.dll file that is being installed doesn't match the signature file or the value in the registry.

CAUSE

This is caused by a version mismatch in the Rsabase.dll and Rsasig.dll files. This version mismatch can occur by installing Internet Explorer 5, re-applying SP4, and then installing the NTOP.

RESOLUTION

The correct file versions for the service pack can be obtained from the Microsoft DLL Help database at the following location: When you have the correct file versions, rename the incorrect file, copy the correct version from the service pack media, disable (uncheck) the "Read Only" attribute (if applicable), and then re-apply the service pack.
