How can I import a PFX certificate into a System Store from a file.
The following does not work:

certmgr -add mycert.pfx -s my

The error I recieve is:
Failed to open the source store

I think it has something to do with the encoding (-e) flag, but I can't
find ANY documentation on this.

I don't think that certmgr supports password protected pkcs12 files. You can
use CAPICOM to do that very easily. See CAPICOM Store.Load(...)
