I'm still having trouble with our application. So it appears the app is
getting called (temporarily modified the app to write out to a log
file), however the mmc console reports the certificates are not
installed after installation. Doing some basic checking, after calling
store.add(<certificate>) in the application, the cert count in the store
is incremented by 1.
When I exit the app, I can't see the certs in the store after
refreshing. Is there any virtualisation of the cert store which occurs
under Vista? Further, if the MSI requests elevation, which user is it
elevated to? I mention, as when UAC is disabled, the certificates are
installed correctly.
Thanks, Nigel Pepper

<Certificate> isn't just for SSL certificates any longer. It's just
stuck in the IIS extension because that's where it came from... it'll
install normal certificates just fine. I do it all the time in Windows
Marketplace.

Almost certainly it is called, but the action is not elevated, so it
fails.
If you need a CA to be elevated in Windows Vista - even if the MSI was
launched elevated - you need the action to be deferred and not
impersonate the running user (i.e. CustomAction/@Execute='deferred' and
@Impersonate='no'). I'm not sure if that's compatible with using an EXE
file.
If you need to install certificates, WiX has the <iis:Certificate>
element. While intended for installing web server SSL certificates, I
believe it's also capable of installing user certificates.

whenUAC is enabled
One of the applications I'm working on calls the .NET framework's
certmgr.exe tool to install a number of X509 certificates in the user's
certificate store. Under Vista, I am observing different behaviour when
UAC is turned on/off. When UAC is enabled, it appears the CustomAction
to install the certs is not called. When UAC is disabled, the action is
called.
Has anyone observed similar behaviour with custom actions and UAC or
have suggestions as to what might cause this?
Thanks, Nigel Pepper
