The latest packages include binaries that have been signed with updated SHA-1 and SHA-256 certificates. Up-to-date root certificates are needed to validate new digital signatures. Microsoft distributes these certificates.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you update the root certificate store and replace the missing certificates. Otherwise, you can't successfully install or upgrade any of the products in this article because the operating system can't successfully validate the new certificate binaries.

In some environments, the root certificates might be missing. The reasons for the missing root certificates include, but aren’t limited to:

• An administrator removed the certificate from the system.
• The system doesn’t have internet connectivity, which is needed to perform a Root AutoUpdate (automatic root update).
• The group policy in effect prevents the root certificate update:
  • The registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate is set to 1.
  • The registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots exists.
