Windows XP Pro installation fails with error code 80096001 - A System-level error occurred while verifying trust.
Hello, my electronic muses.
I have a machine that, up until today, has been running Win 2000 pro.
Today I formatted the hard drive and attempted to install Windows XP Pro but the installation crashed out with the following message:
"The signature for Windows XP Professional is invalid. The Error Code is 80096001.
A system-level error occurred while verifying trust."
Subsequent attempts to install only re-start the installation from the previously attained point with the same result ensuing within seconds.
The disk that I am installing from is an unattended install disk (we have a volume license) which has worked fine on other machines.
Can anyone help me find out the problem? I have searched microsoft's site for the error code to no avail.
This is urgent so if you can solve this you can have 500 shiny new points.
Thanks
Uncle Bubba

Well, Thanks for your swift answers but I seem to have sorted this out myself.
I had already found the page that KickR refers to but it doesn't really shed any light on the situation or say anything that wasn't in the error message.
DClayden mentioned different hardware setups. Unfortunately, the guy who created the disk is unavailable at the moment so I was unable to verify that.
However, going along that route, what I did notice was that many of the google results when I searched for the error listed USB components so I went back to the machine in question and removed the USB optical mouse and put a normal ps2 mouse on it.
The setup worked fine.
So, I'd say DClayden should get the points, if only for pointing me in the right direction.

Have you tried another disk?
Good luck!!!
