[wix-users] Certificate Install Error in Windows 7

[Nathan Roe]

Disabling UAC and running the installer as the same user works.  Doesn't that mean the user does have access?  I'm testing this with a local admin account.

I suspect the user executing the installation doesn't have rights to manage the 'Local Machine' certificate store location.  Changing from localMachine to currentUser may do the trick

I have the following setup in my installer (WiX 3.10.3):

<Binary Id="LocalhostPfx" SourceFile="localhost.pfx" /> ...
<iis:Certificate Id="LocalhostPersonalCertificate" BinaryKey="LocalhostPfx" Name="localhost" StoreLocation="localMachine" StoreName="personal" Overwrite="yes" PFXPassword="*****" Request="no" />

This works correctly in Windows 10 and Windows 7 when UAC is disabled.  However, I get the following error in my install log in Windows 7 when UAC is enabled:

InstallCertificates: Error 0x80090010: Failed to open PFX file.
InstallCertificates: Error 0x80090010: Failed to get SHA1 hash of certificate.
InstallCertificates: Error 0x80090010: Failed to resolve certificate: LocalhostPersonalCertificate CustomAction InstallCertificates returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

Can anyone help me work around this?

Thanks,
Nathan
