MS KB:Updates (SP1,DX9) fail- "windows logo test not pa

Post by Wolfram »

Found this on the web when I found I was unable to install DX 9.0b on one of my machines. Must be somewhere in the MS KB, but it seems they´ve removed it from its original place and hidden it under some box by now...

It worked for me by just typing this at the console:

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

Wolfram (<- do not type this as well)

The information in this article applies to:
a.. Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
b.. Microsoft Windows XP Professional
c.. Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
d.. Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
e.. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, when used with:
the operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
f.. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, when used with:
the operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
g.. Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Runtime, when used with:
the operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
h.. Microsoft Windows Update, when used with:
the operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you install updates to
Windows components (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack
1, DirectX 9, or updates from the Windows Update Web site):

The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to
verify it's compatibility with Windows XP. (Tell me why this testing is
important.)

This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.
CAUSE
This problem may occur for any of the following reasons:


a.. Cryptographic Services is set to disabled.

%Systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 folder.
c.. Other Windows files are corrupted or missing.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3.. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and press ENTER
after each line:
net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc
exit

4.. Try to install the updates to Windows again. If the problem is
resolved, do not continue with the remaining steps in this section. If the
problem is not resolved, restart your computer, and then continue with the
remaining steps.
5.. Click Start, and then click Run.
6.. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.

this command has completed:

Windows File Protection successfully made the requested change.
8.. At the command prompt, type sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER.

Windows logo testing or WHQL just means it passed the tests to say it works with whatever version of windows you are running pre MS's standards. People that make drivers have to pay $250 per driver, per OS, submission to get their driver logo'd. Just because it passed the logo testing does not mean it works correctly. The 6200 and 6300 printer we are getting ready to release passes XP logo testing but are totaly bugy. They really should not pass but there are loop holes in the testing to let them pass.

The problem is that the said updates do not install at all without that workaround. If it was only for the logo warning message, I couldn´t care less ;)
