I'm trying to install Thayer's Birds of North America Software, Version 5.5. The Error 1330 arose, and Thayer's website's instructions are for Internet Explorer. Error 1330 pertains to the digital certificate, according to Thayer's instructions. The instructions say to check the box for "Code Signing" under the "Enable only the following purposes" radio button. I can't find a way to edit the these properties. I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit.

All trusted bits for build-in root certificates should have a check mark.

You can verify this in the Certificate Manager

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates > Authorities (Edit Trust)

If intermediate certificates are required then those need to be send by the server.

You can inspect the certificate chain via a site like this:

Thanks. I had accessed this part, but I don't know what to do to edit it to enable Code Signing. The options I see are for the certificate to identify websites, mail users and software makers. Instead, should I import the GlobalSignRootCertificate from Thayer Birding after I delete the GlobalSign Root CA?

I would assume that software makers is the Firefox equivalent for code signing.

Is this a problem with accessing a website or is this something else?

Can you post a link or attach a screenshot to clarify this?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

I'm trying to install the software, which is notoriously difficult to install. The website, www.ThayerBirding.com, provides many helpful answers to the many problems users have had installing the software. The answer to finding "Error 1330 or Error 272 -- Digital Signature", was that "Error 1330 indicates a file that can't be installed because the cabinet fileD:|Help.cab has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate that the cabinet file is corrupt." The instructions first provide this solution: 1. "Open Internet Explorer by right clicking and selecting the "Run as administrator" menu. 2. Select the Tools >Internet Options...menu option. 3. Select "content" tab. 4. In the "Certificates group, click "Certificates..." button. 6. Select "GlobalSign Root CA" from the list (you may need to scroll down. If you do not see it, read the solution below.) 7. In ""Certificate intended purposes" group, click "View button. 8. Select "Details" tab. 9. Click "Edit Properties.." button. 10. Under the "Enable only the following purposes" radio button, check the box for "Code Signing." 11. Click OK and so on.
