SYMPTOMS
When you try to install any of the Windows products that are listed at the beginning of this article, if you click Yes, download the updated setup file (Recommended) during Windows Setup to run the Dynamic Update feature, Dynamic Update may not download the necessary drivers and fixes. Additionally, a 12029 error (ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT) may be added to your Setuperr.log file.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a new implementation of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in the Dynamic Update feature. It occurs if all the following conditions are true:
 * You try to upgrade a Microsoft Windows 95-based computer to one of the products listed at the beginning of this article.
 * The Windows 95-based computer is running a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer that is earlier than version 5.0.
 * You start Windows Setup by running Winnt32.exe.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
Dynamic Update works with Windows Update to download critical fixes, and drivers that you need during the setup process. Dynamic Update provides important updates to files that are required by the Setup program, which minimizes difficulties during the installation. Dynamic Update also provides access to device drivers that are not included on the Windows CD-ROM to make sure that the devices that Setup requires work correctly. Dynamic Update is only available if you start Setup by running Winnt32.exe and if you have a connection to the Internet.
