The error is normal if you already installed the certificate because the errorcodes from Microsoft are sometimes a little bit poor and sometimes there are simply no errorcodes because some functions have only return values in C but not in VBS.


2) If I look under valid certs it is listed and I can download it to
a file but when I try and install it to IIS with the key generator I
get a message stating the certificate is invalid with a code CAP12
error = 80093005

You have to convert your certificate. You can do this for example via:

openssl x509 -inform DER -in your_cert.der -outform PEM -out your_cert.pem

Perhaps you need another suffix than pem (crt or b64).

3) I have also requested a cert using the key generator on the pub site.
4) Gain I am unbale to retreive the signed cert from the public site
   using the serical number.
5) If I enter the ra site and cut and paste the cert and private key
into pair files I can import them into IIS but always get an error
message about the wrong password (i have tested it many times to make
sure I have the correct password)

Did you try to enter an empty passphrase? OpenSSL has bug which removes the passphrase during conversions from SSLeay to PKCS#8 and vice versa without any warning.


Any Ideas.

No, but www.microsoft.com has an excellent search engine ;)
