Unable to Validate Allegiance Installation

Gappy · Post by **Gappy** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 2:54 am

Updated ASGS from build 165 to 210 today, and got the above error of 'Unable to validate allegiance installation'

I've tried an update/repair of critical files, and it can't delete the old asgsclient.exe I've manually deleted it and updating with asgsupdate.exe, it downloads a new client, but no luck.

ASGS log below:

Do you have .NET 2.0?

If so, there might be something wrong with your .NET install... check out the last line in your paste.

Do you have any interesting crypto libraries installed?

Reinstall didn't work. (I'd had .NET 1.1, 2.0 SP 2, 3.0 SP2, and 3.5 installed).

Problem Identified at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911722, I was able to solve it by their recommended workaround of changing registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy to 0
