That's a new one on me. Certificates have proven to be no end of fun. I should have known this since they are part of the CryptoAPI and that API is one of the most cryptic around. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun. <grin/>
Anyway, something subtle is clearly different but I don't have any iea where to start looking. If you find a specific issue, it'd be great to file a bug against it. I'm going to start plowing through the certificate bugs soon. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Morris, John - Raleigh Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 11:59 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Failure using Wix installer certificates with WCF I have a wix project that uses the IIS extension to install a simple x509 certificate. Here is my wix snippet: <Binary Id="BIN_MyCertificate.pfx" SourceFile="$(var.Binaries)\MyCertificate.pfx" /> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLLOCATION"> <?define ComponentGuid = f128910b-318d-4b3f-96c3-f59610bbfce5 ?> <Component Id="CP_ MyCertificate.pfx" Guid="$(var.ComponentGuid)" KeyPath="yes"> <iis:Certificate Id="CERT_ MyCertificate.pfx" BinaryKey="BIN_ MyCertificate " Name="My Certificate" Overwrite="yes" PFXPassword="MyPassword" Request="no" StoreLocation="localMachine" StoreName="personal" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> The certificate appears to install ok. I then use a custom action to execute the winhttpcertcfg utility to adjust the permissions this certificate. That appears to work too. However, when I try to run a WCF based service (in IIS), I get the error below, in the event log. If I try running an install without have Wix do the certificate installation (ie I manually install it), everything works ok. When Wix installs the certificate, I can see the entry in the MMC console, but WCF won't use it. Am I missing something here, or is there a known bug concerning this scenario? Thanks, John (Event log details below) WebHost failed to process a request.
