Install Failure: Error 997. Overlapped I/O Operation is in Progress
You are attempting to install Autodesk software and the install fails. During the install process you may receive the following error:
Error 997. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.
When you look at the install log, you may see errors relating to SECREPAIR and SECUREREPAIR.
The entries in the install log will be similar to the following:
MSI (s) (D8:38) [14:20:10:710]: SECREPAIR: CryptAcquireContext succeeded
MSI (s) (08:A4) [14:22:31:690]: SECUREREPAIR: SecureRepair Failed. Error code: 35F03B34B8
Causes:
This is a known issue sometimes caused by the Microsoft security update KB2918614. This issue occurs because update 2918614 uses cryptographic keys and certificates for hashing the installation files together with the logged-in user profile. However, cryptographic keys and certificates cannot be used by mandatory or temporary user profiles. Therefore, when a user uses a mandatory or temporary user profile to install any MSI package, the MSI package installation fails and the error message returns.
Solution:
Solution #1 – Change the name of the following folder
- Rename the following folder:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18
to
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18_BAK - Try installing the Autodesk software again.
Solution #2 – Apply the following hotfix
Microsoft recommends applying a hotfix that addresses this issue.
