Without the required Microsoft Windows Updates to use SHA-2, issues might occur. Issues might include, but are not limited to, installation/upgrade failures.
Example:
An upgrade from VSE 8.8 Patch 5 to VSE 8.8 Patch 9 fails on a system without the required Microsoft Windows Updates.
The following error is logged in
VSE88_Patch9_Date_Time.log during the patch installation failure:
!> Error - SysCore install failed: 248
<= leave custom action Install_SysCore_Patch()
CustomAction Install_SysCore_Patch returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 23:13:25: InstallExecute. Return value 3.
