Resolution

=========

Most of the times installation fails with the above error message if the “Certificate Revocation List” is switched off.

To switch on the Certificate Revocation List, please change the value of the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing\State

The value should be 23c00.

State = 0x00023c00 - ‘Check for publisher’s certificate Revocation’ Checked
