pleskautoupdate error: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicExceptio n

Code:
Error: Unable to retrieve a list of available updates: Unable to run `pleskautoupdate` utility: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Access is denied.
at PleskUpdater.Updater.check()
at PleskAutoUpdate.App.Main(String[] args)

Whether I load the Plesk 8.2 Updater manually in the Start Menu or load the HTTP Plesk Control Panel, I always get the access denied error. It doesn't matter if I right click the update tool in the Start menu and try to load it without restrictions as the administrator, it will still do the same. Any suggestions?
 
Apparently the user psaserv did not have access to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto and after adding the user it looks like its working.
 
I know this post is old but, I am having the same error on a dedicated server (Godaddy). It's never worked actually, but I've never complained-- however it's getting on my nerves now. I did what you suggested fixed it, but it didn't. Any other help that you can lend would be great.
