Cause
When the the Windows Security Policy 'System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing and signing' - is enabled, it is not possible to install the software.
Resolution
The Windows Security Policy 'System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing and signing' needs to be disabled while the software is installed.
FIPS stands for Federal Information Processing Standards
Procedure:
1.) In Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Local Security Policy
2.) In Security Settings, Expand Local Policies, and then click Security Options
3.) Find System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing
4.) Double click this option and then select the disable radial button and click OK
For more detailed instructions see the video below.
Additional Note:
This will also apply if using an EWS Server. The EWS server will not work if FIPs is enabled
FIPS must remain disabled after PME software installation.
