I need apply the SP6a (spanish) again, but when i?m appling it, the message "high encryptation version required".
I was looking for Spanish SP6a High Encryptation, but not exist.

Is there a prompt telling you you need to apply SP6 again? If you haven't installed SP6 already on that workstation you should but you shouldn't have to do it twice.- I've just installed I.E. 5.5 on approx. 5 machines and I never received that message - I.E. comes with 128 encryption already. I don't think you have to install SP6 again.

To the best of my knowledge, there is *not* a language-dependent, high encryption (128-bit) version of NT SP6a for Spanish - only French-Canadian. Use the version located at the following sites:

Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a - High Encryption
High Encryption (128-bit) Version for Intel (x86) platform
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/SP6/128bitX86/default.asp

--OR--

Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a - High Encryption
High Encryption (128-bit) Version for Dec Alpha platform
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/SP6/128bitAlpha/default.asp

(If the URLs above do not work, locate and remove any spaces inserted by the TechRepublic system.)

Hope this helps...

Also note: The URLs wrapped to *two* lines, so if you simply cut-and-paste the URL, there will be a space between "recommen" and "ded..."; remove the space and the URL will work.

In addition, there is a workaround, if you do not want to install the 128-bit (high-encryption) service pack. Please refer to the MSDN article "Cannot Install Service Pack 6/6a with High Encryption Internet Explorer", which is located at:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q250/8/67.ASP

(As always...if the URL above does not work, locate and remove any spaces inserted by the TechRepublic system.)

I really don't want to start a flame war, but answer #4 is, at the very least, Anglo-centric, if not *wrong*. To say that the high-encryption service pack is only available in English because "the US is an English speaking country" does a disservice to the many US citizens who may have a preference to speak, or do business, in another language. The government has relaxed the rules on exporting high-encryption software; if that were *not* the case, then why would the high-encryption pack be available for export? I quote from the site for the High-ensryption download site:

"Note: The High Encryption (128-bit) version of SP6a is eligible for export from the U.S. to all customers worldwide, except to U.S. embargoed destinations."

Why is the high-encryption service pack available only in English? My guess is that the impact on the *user interface* is negligible, making language-independent versions unnecessary...

If you have IE5.5 High Encryption (128-bit) installed, you need the High Encryption version of the Service Pack. Since it is unlawful to distribute the 128 bit version of IE5.5 outside of the US, and the US is an English speaking country, the only version of the high encryption service pack you can get is in English.

Your problem is that any time you add a component from the NT disk you need to reinstall the service pack. You will not be able to do this, or add any future service packs, if you have the 128-bit version of IE5.5 installed. You will need to uninstall the 128-bit version of IE5.5, and install the 40-bit version.

Senor Carlos,

If you want to download NT 4.0 SP6a High Encryption from Microsoft's US websites to Spain and in Spanish version, it is not available. What is available for download is the Standard Encryption in Spanish version.

You have to checked directly with Microsoft and check their site: www.microsoft.com/exporting for details of export requirements.

Muchas Gracias, amigo!!!
