Try to uninstall Windows Security update KB2918614.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Error-Key-not-valid-for-use-in-specified-state/...
I personally whould not recommend that, because uninstalling the update KB2918614 places the Windows Installer service back to its original design, but also leaves it vulnerable to the reported security issue https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-049
more info about this here: http://windowsitpro.com/security/bug-or-feature-kb2918614-alters-windows-installer-behavior
so, the right way to solve this this, is fixing user credentials and permissions, that could be corrupted by a virus.
1 - Reset File Permissions: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/reset_file_permissions.html
2 - Reset Registry Permissions: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/reset_registry_permissions.html
3 - Repair MSI (Windows Installer): http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/repair_msi_windows_installer.html
after that, you can try uninstall KB2918614 and then install KB2918614 again from Windows Update in Control Panel.

While doing a routine update from Lightroom 5.5 to v5.6 in Win 8.1, the installation halted at the start of the installation with the vague error message, "key not valid for use in specified state". Although v5.5 was working just fine, the install routine deleted the v5.5 application files. I rolled back to the previous system restore point (set just prior to the install) and recovered the executable files. However, now the 5.5 files won't open the default catalog, none of the backups, or even create a new catalog.
As v5.x was purchased as an update to v4.x, I've tried to reinstall the original Lightroom v4.x app from the factory disk. I get the same error.
Suggestions?
Thanks. DanI have a similar problem to Dan. while doing a routine upgrade from Lightroom 5.5 to 5.6 I got the
: "key not valid for use in specified state"
error and now Lightroom has completely disappeared. I've tried to uninstall, but there is nothing to uninstall. Going back to try to install the original 5.4 just results in the same error.
A problem may have been that I closed Lightroom when the upgrade started to download. It then re-opened again when the install was halfway through., I assumed that was an error and closed it. just after that the error first appeared in the installer.
I still had an older version of lightroom 4 installed. I've uninstalled it, and that didn't make any difference.
I've also tried removing anything in the registry left over from the old installs and that didn't help either.
Any suggestions?

Key not valid for use in specified state error message
I did the update for my iPhone and also tried to update iTunes. I kept getting an error message of "key not valid for use in specified state" error message. I thought that if I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it, that it would be fine. I'm still getting the message and now I don't have iTunes. When my phone updated, I couldn't download anything/backup my phone to iTunes. Please help. Thank you in advance.
For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
For further problems installing iTunes see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Key not valid for use in specified state - installation error
I am trying to install Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 computer at work and I get this error message: "key not valid for use in specified state." What is going on and how do I fix the problem so that i can install Adobe Reader?
This worked:
Solution 2: Re-create the Crypto folder.
Close Acrobat.
In Windows Explorer, do one of the following:
On Windows XP, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Microsoft.
On Windows Vista, navigate to C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft.
Note: These paths include hidden folders. To make hidden folders visible, see "Windows Tip - Show hidden files and folders" (TechNote kb402324).
Rename the Crypto folder as Crypto Old.
Open Acrobat. The Crypto folder will be re-created automatically.

we have developed packages to do the followings
Extract data from DB2 Source and put it in MS Sql Server 2008 database (Lets Say DatabaseA).From MS Sql Server 2008 (DatabaseA)
we will process the data and place it in another database MS Sql Server 2008 (DatabaseB)
We have created packages in BIDS..We created datasource connection in Datasource folder in BIDS..Which has DB2 Connection and both Ms Sql Server connection (Windows authentication-Let
say its pointing to the server -ServerA which has DatabaseA and DatabaseB).The datasource connections will be used in packages during development.
For deployment we have created Package Configuration which will have both DB2 Connection and MS SqlServer connection in the config
We deployed the packages in different MS SqlServer by changing the connectionstring in the config for DB2 and MS SqlServer...
While runing the package we are getting the following error message
Code: 0xC0016016 Source: Description: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for
use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
ilikemicrosoftHi Surendiran,
This is because the package has been created by somebody else and the package is being deployed under sombody else's account. e.g. If you are the creator then the package is encryption set according to your account and the package setup in SQL server is
under a different user account.
This happens because the package protection level is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey which encrypts
sensitive information using creator's account name.
As a solution:
Either you have to set up the package in SQL server under your account (which some infrastructures do not allow).
OR
Set the package property Protection Level to "DontSaveSensitive" and add a configuration file
to the package and set the initial values for all the variables and all the connection manager in that configuration file (which might be tedious of-course).
OR
The third options (which I like do) is to open the package file and delete the password encryption entries from the package. Do note that this is not supported by designer and every time you make changes to the connection managers these encryption entries come
back.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can try to mov the contents of "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA" to another location.
Try to run the installation again and check if it works.

Stones of GoldIt seems we may have a more targeted solution. Based on posts in the thread key not valid for use in specified state I've just added the following to the user tip.
For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

DontSaveSensitive; Key not valid for use in specified state error
I initially had my packages set to 'EncryptSensitivewithPassword' and usedthe config files. My job executes fine. But I noticed I was getting THE error "......Key not valid for use in specified state.....". So, I change the protection level
to 'DontSaveSensitive' , saved packaged ,build and re-imported it. And I still get the same result.
What am I doing wrong?? Package is on the same server where it was built.
I have a package in production that executes without the error. I made a change to the package (logging) in test and now it also encounters same error as the package referenced above.created ssis package logged in as testsrvr\admin; tests fine.
protection level - don't save sensitive
use xml config files
move to production server logged in as prodsrvr\admin; tests fine in bids.
