symptom

No encryption foundation keys found a region specific cryptography error

Error: "no encryption foundation keys found a region specific cryptography module was not found in path specified you cannot proceed until a cryptography file is found."

change

Novell NetWare 6 installed with NICI  

cause

NICI foundation key file was corrupt.

fix

Used a NICI foundation Key from a different license diskette.

If the first fix does not solve the problem, try obtaining the latest DOS drivers for the CDROM, from the manufacturer. Put the driver in the DOS partition with the appropriate commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.  Then boot up from the C: drive,  access the CD and start the install from install.bat.   If you are using NSBS 6  start the install by running auto2.bat on the CD. This calls install.bat and launches it with the correct parameters for NSBS 6
