Safe mode worked however.

CryptUIwizDigitalSign failed 0x12 before deleting
CryptUIwizDigitalSign failed 0x6 CertCreateSelfSignCertificate failed 0x8009000f after deleting


As i said, my guess is that it worked because i guess that safe mode uses a different user account under which i formerly installed the patch. But that's just a lot of guesses. Could be some entirely different reason.

Maybe it's a permissions issue, but UAC is supposed to take care of that. The patcher doesn't do anything user-specific, but the signing process might. Microsoft didn't document the ways CryptUIWizDigitalSign can fail, and the error codes don't give me enough information to figure this out. The patcher only tries CertCreateSelfSignCertificate if the normal signing process fails, so that means both methods are failing. That tell me there has to be some external factor involved, like a missing service or some sort of permissions issue or user restriction. I don't know what because I've never been able to reproduce this.
