Another options is invoking certutil.exe (on Vista and newer versions of windows) with a CAQuietExec. Here's an example that installs to the system store, just tweak the certutil.exe command to go to the user store if that is where you want it.
<CustomAction Id="CreateCertCommand" Property="RegisterCert" Value=""certutil.exe" -addstore "Root" "[PATH_TO_CERT]\certificate.crt"" /> <CustomAction Id="RegisterCert" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no" /> The one downside to this is it won't work for all browsers on the operating system as you requested. Firefox for example does not use the Windows certificate store. Chrome and IE do, not sure about some of the other browsers out there. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: keith.doug...@statcan.gc.ca [mailto:keith.doug...@statcan.gc.ca] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2014 3:53 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install certificate in users store You can (or at least for some things) use the IISExtension merely to install certificates - I've done that.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install certificate in users store Yes I did found this too, but does it have something in common with IIS as it its "IIS Extension"? Hopefully not.
