Windows Indentity Foundation on Win 8

I’ve followed this discussion on StackOverflow and went to Windows Identity Foundation, as advised, to download WIF. The best match for my OS is Win 8, so I downloaded the file, Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu. This has worked so far with drivers and such, so it was worth a shot.

However, as I start the installation process the computer complains about encountered error 0x80096002: “The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found”.

Does it have to do with wrong version of OS? How can I dance around this problem?

WIF has been integrated in the OS on Net 4.5 under System.IdentityModel and System.IdentityModel.Services dlls. No need to download anything else.

This one fixed it for me today...

The one issue I found in the instructions is that on step #3 it says "Windows Identity Framework 3.5", when on my machine it says "Windows Identity Foundation 3.5".

Other than that it worked like a charm.
