Signature verification failed for waptdeploy.exe
Published: October 28, 2025 - 11:21
Hello,
We have an older Windows 7 environment on which we are unable to deploy the WAPT agent using our GPO (which works on newer machines). The error is clearly:
"Unable to check digital signature of executable C:\users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\waptagent.exe".
With an "Exception $0040210C $00405702".
We suspected a problem with the client's SSL/TLS layer version (the schannel under Win7 uses SSL 2, but not TLS), but simply enabling TLS 1.2 in the registry doesn't solve the problem...
Our WAPT is version 2.4.0.14080.
What have we missed? Or is Win7 too outdated for WAPT?
Thank you for your answers.
