Error installing EMET 5 on Windows 7 "key not valid for use in specified state"

No - those other references do not answer the question.  However, this issue appears not to be EMET specific, but .MSI installer specific--i.e. other .MSI installs are failing on this machine with the same message...
All of the references I have been able to find involve SQL or code-signing--I need to fix this issue on an end-user laptop attempting to install properly signed code--EMET 5, for example!

NEVER MIND:  Found the answer:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA
Deleted content at the above location, and the problem is resolved.

Thank you !
I had to install some MSI's with services and got the same error. Found this post quite soon and this solution solved the problem immediately.  Thanks !

  • Issue installing ITunes : error key not valid for use in specified state

    On the latest update for iTunes for Windows the updated couldn't complete as it gave me the following message " key not valid for use in specified state". I then completly uninstalled iTunes and its components in the order advised, rebooted my system, ran the latest ITunes setup and still get the message " key not valid for use in specified state".
    I have checked all the directories to ensure no remnants.
    Any one got an answer to this issue as I no longer have access to ITunes. I have a Laptop running Windows Vista Business
    Thanks,

    It 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.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • "key not valid for use in specified state" when installing itunes

    I recently uninstalled an older version of itunes, and every time i try to install the newest version it wont work.
    I just keep getting the message "key not valid for use in specified state". If you know what to do could you
    please make it simple. also do not send me to apple's help section, it does not have ANY answers.
    thanks.

    There is a link to 7-zip in the Install missing components section of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, but if you have the key not valid error the advice above should work, and there is no need to break down the setup file.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • ERROR: "key not valid for use in specified state" when updating to Lightroom 5.6 in Win8.1

    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. Dan

    I 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?

  • Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state

    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.

    Hi 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.
