Hy,

This is a FAQ from the german magazine c't:
( German Version:	http://www.heise.de/ct/faq/qna/nt_sp_6.shtml )

translated:

- Can't install SP6 under NT4 with 128-Bit encryption.

- There is no german Version of the SP with 128Bit encryption. To install
  the SP the installation routine has to be modified. One file from the SP
  has to be changed before the actual update is performed. Start the .EXE
  file with option '/x', then edit the file 'update.inf' in section
  [CheckSecurity.System32.files] delete the hint to file 'Schannel.dll'.
  This actually prohibits a DLL version check on this file during the
  update.



Ciao,
	Achim
