Patching is disabled for windows as signatures are missing

We have a free, weekly training program called KKE, wherein we cover topics like Patching, linked below. Posted by: Michael 7 years ago. Had a similar issue a few days ago. Trying to re-download the patch definitions resulted in the same error message.

I opened up a ticket with Kace support and they connected up to my machine and saw the same thing I did and escalated it. I got an email response a few hours later asking me to try it again and it worked without a problem.

Not sure if it was a problem on their end or my end, but it may just be faster to go ahead and open a ticket with them. Posted by: zipperson 7 years ago. I found the problem. The table and information may have been be included in the original installation package or added to the package by a Windows Installer patch file.

The patches are digitally signed by a certificate listed in the MsiPatchCertificate table. For more information about digital signature certificates, see Digital Signatures and Windows Installer. The digital signature on the patch package can be verified against the certificate in the MsiPatchCertificate table. The signer certificate used to verify the digital signature on the patch package is valid and has not been revoked.

Although you cannot sign a patch using an expired certificate, evaluation of a digital signature on a patch does not fail if the certificate has expired. Evaluation uses the current MsiPatchCertificate table , which consists of the MsiPatchCertificate table in the original package and any changes to the table by patches sequenced prior to the current one. A patch can add new certificates to the MsiPatchCertificate table to evaluate patches sequenced after the current patch.

A revoked certificate is always rejected. Administrators can apply patches to per-machine installed products regardless of the application's UAC setting. If the value of either property is 1, the application is enabled for least-privilege user account patching. If you do, the language-specific changes in the update will not be applied, and you will have to reinstall the update.
