Hi,

Using Vista Business and trying to install WDK ISO downloaded from Microsoft
downloads site. After twice creating an image CD using two different CD
burning packages I still get the following error when trying to run
KitSetup.exe (autorun disabled):

"KitSetup is unable to validate that his software kit was produced by
Microsoft Corp. due to digital signature verification error(s).

Additional information:

Unable to calculate file hash code
Filename: D:\Redist\DocExplorer\dexplore.exe
CryptCATAdminCalcHashFromFileHandle call failed returning
Windows error code 3221225478 (0xc0000006) = "**** Unable to retrieve
string for system error code! ****...blah..blah..blah"

Can anyone help?

Which burning packages did you use? You can also download Microsoft's
VirtualCD package, which lets you mount an ISO directly as a drive letter.

C0000006 is STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR, which is a relatively serious low level
disk error. Are you quite certain that your CD burner is in good shape,
and that your CDs are clean?

I am getting the exact same issue.
I have downloaded the iso twice and burned many copies on different
machines. I have even tried extracting iso with winrar and running the
kitset.exe manually.

Still no go.
Contents of kitsetup.log

The default KitSetup.exe logfile location has been overridden by the kit's
SKOM definition.

I thought I would add some more of the error message. I have tried on XP Pro
and 7 Home Prem. Hope somebody can help me as I am having lots of Win7 MCE
errors after clean install.

Thanks.

Have you used FTM when downloading the iso?

The download page on Connect does not offer CRC or hash values
for the files, so maybe using FTM is the only way to ensure
a correct download?
