A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled.

Question

Hi

When i tried to install directx i got this message " A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file is valid. "

A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file is valid.____The module "initpki.dll , gpkcsp.dll , sccbase.dll , slbcsp.dll" failed to load

So i tried to check the .dll files that the Cryptographic depends on but this error message keep showing up " The module " xx.dll " failed to load

Make sure the binary is store at the specified path or debug it to check problems with the binary or Dependent . DLL files .

The specified module could not be found "

xx.dll refers to "initpki.dll , gpkcsp.dll , sccbase.dll , slbcsp.dll" because they all had the same message.

could you help me :(

Answer 1

This is what I did and it worked!!!

1. navigate to \Windows\System32\directx\ or \Windows\SysWow64\directx

if you have Windows 7 x64.

2. Click on "organise" file menu, then "folder and search options" then

in the "View" tab check "show hidden files and folders" and then "ok"

3. websetup folder will be visible now. go in there and delete all

contents.

4. run "dxwebsetup" again. 

Works for me under Windows 7 64bit.

After performing the steps given above try Installing DirectX.

Method 2 :

If you still cannot Install DirectX then there could be some corrupted files.

To determine whether the issue that you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of the system files by using the correct versions.

Follow the instructions in the link below to run SFC scan.
