It's not antivirus - I copied DX4WIN 9.0.4.1176 on a Windows XP system I use for TQSL testing and got the same error: System error : The host name in the certificate is invalid or does not match
I dug into this as penance for giving an incorrect answer earlier. The issue is Windows XP - the SSL certificate for DX4WIN is signed with the SHA256 algorithm, which Windows XP does not support. Try opening Internet Explorer and using that to download the .INF file and you'll get the same error. You can download the file using Firefox because Firefox has it's own built-in cryptographic libraries that aren't stuck in 2010. The SSL certificate for the site was issued 3/12/2018, so that's what caused the issue, not some update to DX4WIN. You can not get website certificates that work with Windows XP's crypto libraries because most browsers will reject those certificates. You can't run anything new than IE 8 on Windows XP, so there's no upgrade available for you. There's not a lot of choices here. First, DX4WIN could change their website to not automatically redirect http://dx4win.com/ to https://dx4win.com/ - that would allow the updates to work at the cost of compromising the security of everyone not running Windows XP. Second, DX4WIN could change how it's downloading - using something like cURL to do the downloads (that's what a do for TQSL so Windows 2000 and Windows XP can work) rather than the built-in Windows libraries. Probably the only simple fix is turning https off, which is horrible. Everyone not running XP being held hostage to the XP systems. There's nothing that you can do to correct this on your end other than an upgrade to a supported OS. 73, -Rick On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 11:21 PM, W1ZZ via DX4WIN <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > XP is not the problem as the v9 updater worked before several times.
