Error during CryptAquireContext() - using wincrypt.h
-
Hello, I am getting an error during a call to CryptAquireContext. Here is the code:
// Get handle to the default provider. if(!CryptAcquireContext(&hCryptProv, NULL, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0)) { HandleError("Error during CryptAcquireContext."); return -4; }This routine works fine on my Win2000 machine as well as another Win98 machine in the office, but our Beta users all get the same error. Is it something I am not registering/not including in the install??? If anybody has any experience with this your input would be appreciated! Thanks Football season starts this weekend! -

Thanks Football season starts this weekend!What about calling
GetLastError()? also, It be because the beta machines don't have the high encryption pack installed. Michel It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

- TreeBeardI am calling GetLastError() like this:
void CFPCommonFunctions::HandleError(CString strFunction) { CString strMsg; strMsg.Format("CFPCommonFunctions::EncryptTransFile() - %s: %u.", strFunction, GetLastError()); AfxMessageBox(strMsg, MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION); }This returns 80090019, but there is no corresponding code in the Windows error table. I think I am not formating this message correctly. Also, what do you mean by "don't have the high encryption pack installed"? The documentation on MSDN says that it is compatible with Win95 OSR2 and up. It relies on advapi32.dll, which these users have installed and registered... Is there something I am missing??? 9 Days till kickoff... -
