[?]: EKB install problem - NTE_EXISTS

Post by SINAGUSCORP »

Hello I am trying to install the keys to the TIA PORTAL V13SP1 and I get the following error message.
Error: CryptAcquireContext MS_DEF_PROV Error of containger opening: unknown error.
then OK Press
Error: CryptAcquireContext PROV_RSA_FULL Error of containger opening: NTE_EXISTS.
The key is copied in the AX NF ZZ folder, but the ALM does not recognize it.
I would appreciate it if anyone has any experience with this case.
Thank you.

Windows 7... 10 ?
it MS bugs - in some system other program can crash MS key container (h)

NTE_EXISTS (0x8009000F)
The key container already exists, but you are attempting to create it.
If a previous attempt to open the key failed with NTE_BAD_KEYSET, it implies that access to the key container is denied.
or you self use CleanerRegistry tool and crash Windows services
The Protected Storage Service is not running
The Crypto Service Provider (CSP) may not be set up correctly. Use of Regsvr32.exe on CSP DLLs (Rsabase.dll or Rsaenh.dll) may fix the problem, depending on the provider being used.

Hi!

I've got the same problem. Is it been solved? I've passed CleanerRegister and used Regsvr32.exe but nothing. Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Workaround:
Use another PC (maybe a virtual one) to install a needed key to itself or to USB Drive. And then transfer the key to your PC station via a network or USB Drive.
