<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.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX v3.0 on Vista doesn't run some custom actions 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
