Windows update Installation problem

Hello,
I have been having a problem installing the newest Windows IE from the update page. After searching for updates it tells me that there is a new Internet Explorer, would you like to install it. Heck yes I say and it starts the installation. After a few seconds the following message appears.
Setup could not verify the integrity of the files needed for installation. Make sure the cryptographic service is running on this computer.

I have restarted the computer numerous times and tried to reinstall. Same message. Each time I've verified that the cryptographic service is indeed running. I still can't get it to install.

On a possible side note. I also cannot do a full system scan. I don't know if this is related. I have also tried a system restore as far back as it would allow. Nothing works.

I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavillion computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Kevc66
Are there any error codes with the message eg.
0x800B0004 error or error 643 .
If you are getting error codes then we need to know what the code is.
Click on start >run. type in gpedit.msc click ok this should start group policy
Click on User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Internet
Explorer Maintenance -> Security -> Authenticode Settings - Is Enable
Trusted Publisher Lockdown checked ? if yes uncheck click ok and try the download again.
Cheers

Hello Peterm,
I typed in gpedit.msc on the computer. It says file not found. I tried it on another new computer. I got the same results!

I am using the home version.

Another issue seems to have been created!

I went back to the Windows update page to see if I could install the new IE. I now cannot get to the update page.

fter checking for updates an information page appears saying the website has encountered a problem.
I am receiving an error message 0x800B0001

Step 1
"Register the following files with these steps:

1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL" (w/o thequotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.

2. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL" (w/o thequotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.

3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL" (w/o thequotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.

4. Now try the Windows Update site and see if you get the same error."

If that does not work
Have a look at this
