I get an error "key not valid in specified state" when updating iTunes

I tried to update my iTunes to 12.0.1  warning popped up on computer to try doing manually which I did when it was doing status it was almost to the end and triangle with caution exclamation and said "key not valid in specified state"....Now what? Do I uninstall?

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.

  • Upon install, error message says "key not valid in specified state?"  How do I fix this?

    The os I am using currently is windows vista.  I attempted numerous updates only to have each one fail with the same message..."Key not valid in specified state."  I tried full removal and reinstall only to get the same message.  Any remedies?

  • Updating to LR5.6 problem "key not valid in specified state". What?

    I downloaded an update from LR5.5 to 5.6 (Windows 64 bit) and in the process of running the initial start up of 5.6, program stopped and gave me a popup stating "key not valid in specified state". What does this mean? Now I don't see the program LR5 on my computer at all. How do I get Lightroom 5 back?

    Hi dj,
    I believe it is tied to this update that seems to affect the MSI Installer on some systems (KB2918614)
    See this thread and uninstall the particular update and it should then install: 5.6 Installation fails "object already exists"
    Hopefully Adobe can pick up on this issue.

  • Fatal Error During Solution Center Install - "Key Not Valid for Specified State"

    I have encountered an error while trying to install HP Solution Center for my J6480 All-In-One.  The software I'm installing is "OJJ6400_Full_10.exe"
    I can get past the installation option selections (i.e., the screens that allow selection of which components you want installed) as well the online check for updates to the software.  However, shortly after that I get a fatal error the full text of which are:
    Error Situation Code: 23551631
    The following lines were retrieved from the installation error logs.
    Now Launching=X:\hpzmsi01.exe -m dot4wrp "-*"

    Your help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hey @redleader74,
    At this time I am going to have you unlock the hidden System Administrator Account and attempt an install under there. Ideally, if everything installs fine you should be able to log back into your normal User Account and the complete software and driver package for your HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One Printer will be installed and functional. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    Click on your Start menu
    Select All Programs
    Select the HP folder
    Select your HP Officejet
    Select Uninstall
    Please follow any onscreen prompts to complete the uninstall. Once the uninstall is complete please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Clear Temp Files:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard
    When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
    Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
    Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
    Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
    Step 3: Unlock System Administrator Account:
    Click on your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
    CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
    Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter
    Next, close CMD and restart your computer
    When your computer comes on log into the new Account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator Account we just unlocked
    Step 4: Install Device:
    Under the Administrator Account please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer.
    Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen instructions to install your printer
    Once the installation is complete, please test the functions of your HP Officejet to ensure that everything is functioning properly now. If everything installs fine, log out of the Administrator Account and back into your normal User Account. All the Software and Drivers for your product should show installed now on your Account. Once you're logged into your User Account please test your HP Officejet again to verify that your print and scan functions are still working.
    If everything works fine, you will want to Hide the Administrator Account.
    Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
    CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
    Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter
    Next, close CMD and restart your computer
    Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Good luck!

    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.

    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.

  • 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?
    CHeers, Angus
