Title Body

I'm having problems inserting a new CA certificate with privatekey in the Root certificate store of the localmachine. This is what happens: //This doesn't help either. new StorePermission (PermissionState.Unrestricted) { Flags = StorePermissionFlags.AddToStore }.Assert(); var store = new X509Store(StoreName.Root, StoreLocation.LocalMachine); privkey.PersistKeyInCsp = true; //This shouldn't be necessary doesn't make a difference what so ever. RSACryptoServiceProvider.UseMachineKeyStore = true; cert.PrivateKey = privkey; store.Open (OpenFlags.MaxAllowed); store.Add (cert); store.Close (); The certificate gets inserted and it all looks dandy: (see!) Note: is says it has a privatekey. So you'd say one would be able to find it with FindPrivateKey C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>FindPrivateKey.exe Root LocalMachine -t "54 11 b1 f4 31 99 19 d3 5a f0 5f 01 95 fc aa 6f 71 12 13 eb" FindPrivateKey failed for the following reason: Unable to obtain private key file name Use /? option for help It's cute .... BUT IT'S WRONG!! (2 stupid dogs reference) And the Certificate export dialog gives me this very fine message: This code is run while impersonating an administrator using this snippet: click here I'd just love to know WHY? (tested on Windows Server 2008 R2 & Windows 7) I'll be damned! It works when I compile it to v3.5!!!! What to do?
