Nope. But if you boot into safe mode you should be able to re-register
the dlls. If that doesn't work, then try to delete the following
registry keys and rebooting:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\M­icrosoft\Cryptography\Provider­s
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\M­icrosoft\Cryptography\Provider­s

of the same software that they don't really need.
