Cannot Delete SCE Package
Hello,I'm having the following problem:One of the engineers deleted a created package from Disk but didn't deleted it first in the SCE console. Now I get an error if I want to delete the removed package.I've already recreated it but the GUID is changed so that doesn't work.My SCE installation is SP1 and my WSUS installation is 3.0 SP2The error I get is:Verification of file signature failed for file: (and the GUID)Many thanks in advance for the assistance

Hello Mike, You should recreate the package with a same GUID, and then you can delete the package from the SCE console. To do it, follow the steps below: 1. Right click the software package in SCE console, and choose delete. When the error occurs, it wrote an entry to "C:\Program Files\Update Services\LogFiles\SoftwareDistribution.log": VerifyandPublishPackage: Failed to verify signature for file: <complete path to cab file> For example,a complete path could be: \\computer name\UpdateservicesPackages\12345\6789_1.cab 2. Go to UpdateServicesPackages folder, create the sub folder, and rename it as the same as the old one, in my example, it should be 12345 3. Create a folder under this new created folder(12345) and rename it as 6789, copy the original installation file into it(under 12345\6789\ ). 4. Create a new txt file and rename it as 6789_1.cab under 12345 folder, copy the original installation file into it(under 12345\6789_1.cab\ ). 5.Open SCE console, repeat the step 1 to delete it. Hope it helps,Yog Li - MSFT
