Installation error "Key not valid for use in specified state"

Question

I tried to install the evaluation version of FileLocator Pro (Downloaded from your site today). It failed to load with a "Key not valid for use in specified state." error. I also tried installing Agent Ransack but it stopped with the exact same error.

Can you assist me please?

Answer 1

This is a Microsoft Installer error message not a Mythicsoft one. The solution is to delete (or rename) the folder:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA
