I think it is somehow related to the user context it is running as, in our case we using PowerShell remoting to install the MSI (using msiexec). The bit I have never seen before are the SECREPAIR messages, these only get triggered for us when we do this remote deployment. Although it works with kb2918614 installed I have also seen SECREPAIR messages if I psexec to a server and then install an MSI using msiexec.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] SECREPAIR: CryptAcquireContext: Could not create the default key container FWIW, we haven't seen this with any FireGiant customers yet. That's a large part of why I'm at a loss. However, we have been hearing stories of other issues in the last couple batches of updates from Microsoft. Quality control may have slipped up there a bit recently. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 1:10 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Which, fortunately or unfortunately, means Microsoft probably needs to fix the fix. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Matt O'Connell [mailto:techsupport...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 9:02 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.
