We have created a WIX installation MSI that installs certificates to machine
store. It installs a root certificate (GoDaddy Class 2 Certification
Authority) to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities. It works for most
of machines, but it fails some machines. We suspected the group policy
restrictions( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841.aspx), but
the change did not resolve the problem. Below is a WIX definition and a
portion of the log file that shows where the error occurs.

We are puzzled as to what causes this problem. If you have any idea as to
what causes this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
