Well lets go check if the file has a bad signature or not :-)

A .cat file can have a digital signature on it, so go to

C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\

Then in there right click on any .cat file and then go to properties. When properties open you should see a digital signature tab, if there isnt one then the file has been modified in some way to where it is no longer signed.

So go ahead and check the
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Anytime-Upgrade-HomePremium-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.0.6000.16386.cat

And lets see if it has that tab or not. :wink:

I looked at the prpoerties of 25 different .cat files and all had a digital signature tab.  i appreciate you working with me like this.

Shane:
OK then it is possible that my program wasnt able to see that, my program calls a Windows API to get the cert data of the file, which uses the "Cryptographic Services" or "CryptSvc" service to do that.

If that service isnt running or is disabled it wouldnt let the API pull the data and so it would think it is bad. If that is the case you can ignore the errors in the pre-scan because basically it wasn't able to pull the data, so it thinks it wasnt there.

Can you check to see if that service is running?

- To see how many updates failed & were succesful: Open the "Control Panel", "Programs & Features", "View Installed Updates". Then at the bottom it tells you the amount of (successful) updates.

Willy2:
- Perhaps one of the Repairs didn't (re-)start that one particular Service ("Cryptsvc") ?
