Is the smartcard service running?

  • Open "Windows Services".

  • Search for "Smartcard service" as shown in the following screenshot:

Check the following Smartcard service settings (based on the screenshot above):

  • The status column for the Smartcard service shows 'Running'.

  • The 'Log On As' column shows 'Local Service'.

  • Select the second tab, 'Log On'.

  • Select 'This account'.

  • Then click 'Check names'.

  • The name 'Local service' now appears in the text box.

  • Then click 'OK'.

  • Leave the password boxes empty.

  • Click 'Apply'.

  • Click 'OK'.

  • Go back to the first tab, 'General', and restart the service.

  • Click 'Start'.

  • Click 'Stop'.

Error during installation MSI error 2502 or 2503

When installing the T1C the possibility of the errors 2502 or 2503 originate from the fact that permissions in the temp folder (C:\Windows\Temp) are not correct, and since the MSI installer relies on this they need to be correct. You need to have permissions next to the administrator rights.

You need to have permissions as <My User> next to the administrator rights.
