Autodesk 2017 Software running as Restricted user Certificate revocation check fail

Some customers have reported Autodesk 2017 product crash on initial launch for certain users with restricted permissions and certain group policies applied.

After some research we found the root cause of the failure is an invalid registry value set,  with Group Policy (from old .adm file) or other scripts.

 

"This error occurs when the 'State' value of below mentioned registry key is incorrectly set. This value corresponds to the Internet Explorer security setting "Check for publisher’s certificate Revocation" and "Check for signatures on downloaded programs"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing
You can find a key with the name ‘State’. By default the values is set to – ‘23c00’"

 

more details on this key.
