Failed to install SCCM client by Right Click Tool - 0x80040281

I got this error message after I tried to use Right Click Tool (version: 0424ConfigMgrTools) to install SCCM client:

Error Message:
Failed in GetCertificate0x(...) 0x80040281
File 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ccmsetup\{4CD82FBB-0AFC-4864-A089-15364DF5F14B}\client.msi' doesn't have a valid digital signature.

This scenario happened when the Right Click Tool is using an older version of ccmsetup.exe to install the SCCM client on the workstation.

To solve this issue:
1. At your SCCM server, copy newer version of ccmsetup.exe from DriveLetter:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\
2. Paste the newer version of ccmsetup.exe to DriveLetter:\Windows\SCCMTools

I dint get same error message after replaced the ccmsetup.exe. Good luck to you. :)

Error - Configuration Manager Product Updater

Yesterday went for a fruitful microsoft event - TechDays Singapore 2011. Today, I joined as a student helper and as well as a student in weiking SCCM 2012 master class at Tiong Bahru.

One of the students got this error message when he was trying to install SCCM 2012:

Error message: An error has occurred while attempting to download or verify required prerequisite components and Setup cannot continue. Review the configmgrsetup.log file for further details.

And we found out "ConfigMgr.Manifest" is missing from the pre-download prerequisite updates folder:

This file missing scenario happened when user select the "Download and use the latest updates. Updates will be saved to the following location"

To solve this issue:

1) Copy the missing file back to the pre-download prerequisite updates folder. Make sure the prerequisite update folder has 14 items in total:

2) At the updated Prerequisite Components page, select " Use previously downloaded updates from the following location".

Hope this helps. :)
