Problems installing fixit - invalid certificate RRS feed

  • Question

  • I'm having problems installing fixit on one of my Windows 7 64-bit systems.  It works fine on another Windows 7 64-bit system.  I've tried rebooting, disabling the firewall, and downloading different fixit modules.

    The install fails with the following popup while it is "Verifying the signature of matsengine_Win7-en-us.cab.."
