KB887742 Cryptographic Services Problem

KB887742 first showed up on the Windows update page a few weeks ago.
However, it failed to install. After multiple attempts, I went to the
download page, and tried that approach. When running the downloaded
version, it goes through the usual process of unpacking, but after a
few seconds, an error box pops up, saying that it is unable to confirm
the integrity of the UPDATE.INF, and to insure that the Cryptographic
Services is running on this machine. Checking the local services, I
find that Cryptographic Services is listed as running, automatic. I
have made other updates, including some since, and not seen this
particular error.

Any suggestions on how to solve this? The OS is WINXP Home, SP2.

Thanks,

Alan

Jupiter,

The XP_CRYPTOFIX.VBS fixed it. I guess there is a difference between
running and running.

Thanks,
