Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a biometric device that has on-board storage capability installed on a computer that is running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.

  • You have the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) enabled on the computer.

  • You try to verify your biometric credentials on the device. For example, you swipe the correct finger on a fingerprint reader.


In this scenario, your biometric credentials are not verified. For example, the fingerprint is not verified.

Note The on-board storage is used to store biometric templates.

Cause

This problem occurs because the WinBioVerify function fails and returns a "WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CORRUPTED 0x8009801A" error code when the WINBIO_SUBTYPE_ANY value is used as the SubFactor parameter.

The English (United States) version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notesImportant Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies to" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table.

    Version

    Product

    SR_Level

    Service branch

    22xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, extremely important issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
