Hi,
Has anyone successfully used a DigitalCertificateRef to add a new embedded .cer 
 in a patch to allow UAC patching to continue?

We have previously done this a few years ago by hacking MSIs and using a blank 
patch family but now I can't seem to get either method to work.

It seems to be applied correctly (in instead) but my new patch signed with the 
new certificate prompts for elevation with an error about the certificate size 
being mismatched (see subject).

I tried recreating the cer from the pfx and it still seems to be an issue, but 
I did have an encoding issue originally when I used base64 not binary DER.

I made a dummy msi and embedded the new cer and signed it and made a patch and 
signed that with the new certificate and that applied correctly with no UAC 
prompt.

I've even tried making a parallel patch with just the certificate in it but get 
the same error.

I am somewhat puzzled, especially as we have done this before.

Any pointers would be appreciated
Dave
