#1353 certificate install fails

[Ian Elliott]

OS = Windows 2003 Server
Wix Version = 3.0.4519

Certificate does not install.

MSI (s) (C4:08) [15:50:50:560]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINNT\Installer\MSI13A.tmp, Entrypoint: InstallCertificates
InstallCertificates: Error 0x80070057: Failed to open PFX file.
InstallCertificates: Error 0x80070057: Failed to get SHA1 hash of certificate.
InstallCertificates: Error 0x80070057: Failed to resolve certificate: ID_IDSAPICert

This worked in Wix 2.0 and we recently converted to Wix 3.0. The source file and certificate have not changed.

I am also seeing this behavior.

This is related to the fix for bug #1930640

Here is the log file output:

Since the error code returned is "invalid argument", I'm wondering if the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY flag is valid in pre-Vista OS versions. Here's a thread that may suggest that flag is not supported on XP:

I'm going to isolate the issue with a test app and will post code to demonstrate.
