Dude, I feel your pain. I posted about the same problem a couple weeks ago and still haven't solved it. Anyone with help is appreciated.

I may be wrong but I think when you install the OS and if you are connected to the internet it may D/L the updates automatically, Again I may be wrong?

SP1 won't be publically available until 9-9 so it's pretty safe to say you don't have it.

*PROBLEM FIXED**

Aircooled: here is the solution

my year was 2019 (no idea how, brand new install)

so the certificate became not valid in 2004, therefore it wouldn't work hahahaha
thanks all
