AllSync & AllDup

I get this error on Windows XP: "Can't initialize the crypt system provider CryptAcquireContext2" with AllDup 4.0.18. The application works on Windows 7. Am I missing a DLL?

Windows XP with Service Pack 3?

Do you have the file, fldrvw90.ocx, in your instalDir\dep\ ?

It's either SP2 or SP3.
fldrvw90.ocx is in the dep folder.

I runned a test with AllDup PE v4.0.18 under WinXP SP3 and the Search Method "File content SHA-1 (160-Bit)": everything runs fine...

Can you suggest some things for me to try to fix the problem? The error contains "CryptAcquireContext2" Should it be "CryptAcquireContext", "CryptAcquireContextA", or "CryptAcquireContextW"? Does that give a clue as to what might be wrong?

Start | Run -> WINVER, should tell you the SP level, I believe.

On Win7, I "see" (& assuming what I'm looking at has any meaning), CryptAcquireContextA & CryptAcquireContextW, not '2'.

"CryptAcquireContext2" is just a information for the developer.

Reinstall SP3. Maybe this will fix the problem.

I don't have the option of reinstalling the OS. Can I put the necessary DLLs in the AllDup application folder? Which DLLs do I need?

AllDup is using the windows crypt functions and it looks like that your windows installtion is corrupted.
You need to reinstall XP or the latest service pack...

If what you need is SP3, if installing that (or reinstalling that) is enough to get you working, you can download SP3 (& this is only the SP3 update - not the "XP SP3" operating system), you can get it from the link here, http://www.zdnet.com/article/update-7-x ... microsoft/.

Verify the hash of your download (which is the same hash of the file I've long had on hand).

I can't update the OS with SP3. The only thing I can do is put the correct DLLs in the application directory if you can tell me which ones I need.
