Re: Microsoft untrusted certificate store update (Dec 31st)

I not sure if CTL is useful for those that download Windows Updates often.

BTW if you use the links I originally posted you can install the update manually. Or you can wait until they're on WU. I did it manually on my Win7 x64 system.

FYI the update file is named rvkroots.exe. You can extract the files within with WinZip. It contains

  5/31/2012  15:54          91,136  ADVPACK.DLL
12/31/2012  15:59          83,067  disallowedcert.sst
 5/31/2012  15:39           1,549  rvkroots.inf
 6/01/2012  10:48           6,656  updroots.exe
 5/31/2012  15:55           2,272  W95INF16.DLL
 5/31/2012  15:55           4,608  W95INF32.DLL

Event 4112

For vista to W8, the CTL update will not show in WU. It has an autoupdate mechanism on it's own provided kb2677070 was installed when it was released in June 12, 2012. To check if CTL was updated automatically, look in eventvwr windows log/applications for event 4112 Source: Cap12.

"The customers that have the automatic updater of revoked certificates (Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 2677070) will not need to take any action because the CTL will be updated automatically."
