This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms when building an app with visual studio

Question

I am trying to compile my program in visual studio and I am getting a FIPS Cryptographic algorithms error. I have checked the registry key and it is set to false.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I had a hard time with this too. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa. Under a subkey you should see FipsAlgorithmPolicy. DELETE this registry entry and restart visual studio.
