No, I've verified my identifier was only 41 characters long.  Looking at the 
idt, the field is defined as s72, or a 72 character string (confirmed with 
Orca).  Even with Orca, I was unable to change the identifier to "X", so it 
isn't a length issue.

Hi,

my messages are too long, they need moderation. I've fixed these too bugs and 
wanted to post my changes.

Actually I think the identifier is getting too long in your case. I've used an 
Guid prefixed by 'cer' as an identifier instead of the thumbprint.

Kind regards,
Georg von Kries

Betreff: [WiX-devs] SFBUG: 3341/3340

When looking at SFBUG 3340 and 3341,  I attempted to prefix the identifier.  
Any time I use anything other than the hash it fails to import.  I've tried 
multiple variations (_, cer, Z, etc) of a prefix.  Each time I have verified 
that the certificate name in the IDT matches that of the file on disk in the 
MsiDigitalCertificate sub folder.  I've tried it with only changing the 
identifier and with changing both the identifier and the file name.

By chance is there something mis-documented on either the table definition or 
the MsiDatabaseImport function? (Is there a reason we are using this instead of 
using the DB functions directly?)

It may be worth mentioning that I can't even adjust this value with Orca. It 
fails on commit with "The data was rejected by the database. It may be out of 
the valid range or formatted incorrectly".  I can modify the identifier in the 
MsiDigitalSignature table, and I can modify another record in the 
MsiDigitalCertificate table. (I have a local fix that leaves the named key from 
the MsiPatchCertificate table in place.)  The only other unique thing I can 
think of is both certs are identical.

Thanks,
Jacob
