You are simple wonderful.

I am using Windows XP SP3 (32 bit). From this link I have downloaded 2 File

  1. jdk-6u30-windows-i586.exe (Run and installed successfully)
  2. jdk-6u30-windows-x64.exe ( unable to Run and Install)

However I was able to Login to MCA21 website using DSC.

 

My Question is : After installing new files, has anyone successfully Updated / Registered DSC RoleCheck ?

Earlier I got error as : Digital Signature verification failed or Your CA is not trusted.

When tried again I got Error as : You have already registered your DSC as Director.

The Reason may be I was trying to Register DSC again registered earlier, hence not necessary.

 

Any Comments / Suggestions : About anyone successfully registered New DSC / DSC Updated after installing this JDK 1.6 Update 30

Yeah..thanks for the update.

Without Windows Service Pack 3 (SP3), you usually get an error while downloading the dsc.

The SHA-2 algorithm apparently uses mroe security while generating your digital signature and older machines/browsers are not able to download the same.

But guess there would be very few of us who would not be having Win XP SP3 or Win Vista.

Use Digital Signature for ease, speed and saving paper!
