If you install Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 3 when Microsoft Enhanced
Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) and Microsoft CyrptoAPI versions 1.0
and 2.0 are installed on your computer, entries for the digital signature
may be damaged or missing from the registry. If the CSP is not properly
registered, it does not load and no error message is displayed.
The Advapi32.dll file, included with Windows NT Service Pack 3, may
generate either of the following error values:
- 0x8009001A (NTE_KEYSET_ENTRY_BAD)
- 0x80090006 (NTE_BAD_SIGNATURE)
