This works. Thank you very much.

The log file contains "Error 0x80092026: The cryptographic operation failed due to a local security option setting.", error. This occurs due to local security setting, to resolve the issue check for "safer" key in registry and delete it.

Locate the following key
Start/Run
Type "regedit" ENTER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\
SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher
Under "TrustedPublisher" look for "Safer" key.
Delete the "Safer" key if it is there
