Windows 7: Root Certificates Update

By default, the KB931125 is available for Windows XP only, not for Windows 7 or Vista. And you can’t download this update manually for Windows 7.

But you may download the update at http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe

If to run this tool under administrator privilegies, the root certificates will be updated in Windows 7 succesfully.

Why I need this update:
Delphi XE4 checks the serial number using certificate center. I don’t know what root certificate they used but by default, this certificate is not available in Windows 7.
So as result, you run the XE4 IDE, all packages loaded, you see how many days is left to use the reg.copy and in end of loading the IDE closed, opened the browser with the next url:
www.embarcadero.com/ru/product-validation-error

As solution there you need read the http://support.embarcadero.com/article/40373
But this is for XP only, not for Windows 7 or Vista.

After rootupd.exe run the list of root certificates is updated and XE4 will validate the license file.
