Q177179 INFO: Internet Explorer Doesn't Display Signed .cab Certificate

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

There are several scenarios where Internet Explorer does not show a certificate for a signed .cab file. The following section describes those scenarios.

MORE INFORMATION

Here are the three most common reasons for this behavior:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinTrust

These privileges can be granted by a user on the machine who has administrator privileges using Regedt32.exe. This requirement will be addressed in future versions of Internet Explorer.

Note   If the certificate does not appear or you answer No to the certificate, the applet will still load but will not be trusted.
