Re: ClickOnce/Bootstrapper: WinVerifyTrust failing on some Windows 9x machines

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Gabriel,

Computers encountering this problem are already
running Windows Installer 3.0. wintrust.dll is also
installed and the version is correct.

Do you mean the Windows ME or Windows 98 machines has already installed the
Windows Installer 3.0?

However the Windows Installer 3.0 cannot be deployed to the Windows systems
below Windows 2000.

I would also like to mention that the WinVerifyTrust
check is failing only for MSI files - the bootstrapper
is able to check EXE as well as install the .NET
framework 2.0 before failing on a MSI file.

I don't think so. You know the bootstrapper itself also will also launch an
msi installation package to install the .NET Framework. (The msi file is
contained in the redistributable's exe file).

By the way, I also check the WinVerifyTrust API in the PSDK documentation,
it requires Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, or
Windows NT Workstation 4.0. So the root cause of this problem should be
the Windows ME or Windows 98 doesn't support this function:

Thanks!
