I currently have a batch file adapted from the WSE3 samples to register a
test certificate, like this:

set CERTNAME=MyCertificateName

certmgr -del -r CurrentUser -s AddressBook -c -n %CERTNAME%
certmgr -del -r LocalMachine -s My -c -n %CERTNAME%

certmgr -add -all -c public.cer -r CurrentUser -s AddressBook

set WP_ACCOUNT=NETWORK SERVICE
(ver | findstr "5.1") && set WP_ACCOUNT=%COMPUTERNAME%\ASPNET

winhttpcertcfg -i private.pfx -p vantage -c LOCAL_MACHINE\My -a
"%WP_ACCOUNT%"

Does anyone know how this should be modified to get it to work on Vista - in
particular Vista 64?

Thanks,
Phil Lee

Hello Phil,

As for the WSE 3.0 test certificate installing batch file, it just calls
the markcert.exe to create the test certificate and then use certmgr.exe to
add the certificates into machine and user store. I've tried running the
WSE 3.0's cert setup.bat file on VISTA(32BIT) and it worked correctly. Did
you get any particular error when running these commands?

Generally, if the .net framework 2.0 is installed correctly, you can run
the cert setup command under the .NET framework's command prompt.

Please feel free to let me know if you meet any further issues.

Sincerely,

Steven,

thanks for the reply.

All I needed to do was run my batch file from an a command prompt running as
administrator.

Hi Phil,

Yes, in vista, by default the UAC will prevent a user directly perform
adminstrative operations. You need to elevate the security context when
performing many privilege opeations such as install certificates, register
COM object,....

Anyway, glad that you've figured it out.

Have a good day!
