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.

Downloading error"Key not valid in specified state". How do I fix this?

Uninstalled Itunes. Now when I try to reinstall, I get the error" key not valid in specified state> What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

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.

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 "-*"
".\autorun_network.inf" "-networkonly" -| XXX -f X:\DIVins??.DAT
Error message received: Key not valid for use in specified state.

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!

SQL Server Mgt Studio 2008 installation problem - Key not valid for use in specified state

I'm setting up SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on my laptop. It installed fine, but failed to import a regsrver file exported from another machine. This appears to have been due to the fact that I exported the file with usernames and passwords, although I must admit that's pretty darned inconvenient if it can't be done.
Nevertheless, I exported the file again without usernames and passwords, but the new install now won't let me even see servers, let alone import any new ones.
When I start Studio, it gives me the "Key not valid for use in specified state" error. When I 'continue', I'm delivered to a screen with the 'registered servers' pane crippled. It has no contents at all and no ability to add, select, import, export. Nothing there.
How do I rectify this?
The installation is on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Don,
Since this issue was still not resolved even after you reinstall SQL Server 2008, I think that this issue is probably related to some corrupted files or registry keys. Please refer to the following steps to see if you can resolve this issue:
1. Close your SSMS;
2. Go to the folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\ and check if there is a Shell folder, if so, rename it to Shell-Copy;
3. Re-open your SSMS to see if the error persists.
Everytime SQL Server 2008 Management Studio starts, it will read information from this folder to retrieve and recover some data. If the information does not exists, it will recreate new ones. Please check if this helps.
Best regards,
Charles Wang
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help
To add to Don's comment, if you are using a different account (for example, an SA account) to run SQL Server management studio then make sure to change the user profile name when you browse to "%appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\".
I know many of us developers have multiple accounts and I usually have my SA account have logon privileges on databases not my regular AD Account.
Other than that, the reason why this fails is because MS encrypted the regsrvr file on the source computer using the source computer's ID and is therefore unable to decrypt the file on the destination computer. To me that just doesn't make sense since the
whole idea of Export and import was to move this information across computers! And that's why this works when you import without username and passwords - no more encryption/decryption. Since we use integrated windows logon (trusted_connection=true) it works
great. For the few servers that we had SQL Logons I had to manually type them in and save. But all in all, pretty painless.

Problem updating Lightroom "key not valid for use in specified state"

Hi,
I am having problems with installing the update 5.6 of Lightroom from 5.2.
I downloaded and ran the updater. It has uninstalled my previous version of Lightroom but now each time I try to run the installer it fails, with the message "key not valid for use in specified state".
I have tried restarting to no avail.
Any ideas?

Searching Google for the error and Lightroom, the two forum threads that come up are:
1) Installing Muse the user wasn’t logged in as an administrator level user and after they logged in as an administrator user and did the install, again, it worked.
2) A recent Windows Update seemed to interfere with something and the user did a system restore back to a few weeks, ago, reinstalled their previous version of LR, and then installed LR 5.6 and then did the Windows Updates again and everything was ok.

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?

Tried updating to 11.4 Itunes and it says "key not valid for use in specified state"

when I tried to update ITunes to 11.4 I get an error message saying " key not valid for use in specified state" I tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading the new version but it still won't download. I also tried syncing my Iphone 6 and it wouldn't let me until I updated to 11.4 which brings me back to my problem???

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.

While trying to download update 11.4 for i tunes i received an error message "key not valid for use in specified state" what does that mean ? anyone please help ?

Hi. Muse update to 2014.1 will not install, so I uninstalled Muse 2014 and tried again and again, no luck. However, I just updated InDesign and Premiere Pro successfully.
Thank you for any tips.
Error log is as follows:
"Payload: Muse CC (2014.1) 2014.1.0.375 Muse_2014_1_CC_LS24.msi_2014.1.0.375 -----------
ERROR: Key not valid for use in specified state.
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1603 - Fatal error during installation.
MSI Error message: Key not valid for use in specified state.
ERROR: Third party payload installer Muse_2014_1_CC_LS24.msi failed with exit code: 1603

I solved the problem by restarting the computer and logging in to an administrator account. Then I was able to install Muse 2014.1
Perhaps, if this makes any sense technically, one part of the install process touched a nerve with a component in the process that required admin privileges that my day-to-day account was denying?
I hope it helps others - and I see there are a few having this problem.
Again, many thanks for your support, kglad.

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.

The fix is to remove this update.
How to remove a Windows Update in Vista
If the fix works I recommend that you 'hide' it so that it doesn't get reinstalled automatically.
Instructions below:
If you don't want Windows to install an update, you need to hide it.
Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
In the left pane, click Check for updates.
When Windows finds updates for your computer, do one of the following:
Click the link that tells you important updates are available if you have important updates to hide.
Click the link that tells you optional updates are available if you have optional updates to hide.
Right-click the update you don't want to install, and then click Hide update. The next time you check for updates, the update won't be automatically selected or installed. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
