[NOT ANSWERED] Install client SSL certificate via .NET Msi

If anyone has any ideas on how to install a SSL security certificate on a
remote client (for a WSE SecureConversat ion scenario), even if it is not
through the .NET msi, as I am really struggling on this one!! Original post
below......
Does anyone know how to get the .NET MSI that you create via a Setup
Project to install a certificate (the public cert) on the client? The
installer is for a Windows application? I have searched google,
Microsoft and VS.NET Help but i can find nothing at all about this topic. I'm
guessing that it is not possible, but hoping that I'm wrong and some
out there has done it!!!

Any help or pointers to articles greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Does it need to be done automatically?

Just double clicking the certificate will bring up the Certificate Management
Console whereby you can import the certificate into the correct store.

Unfortunatly yes, it MUST be done automatically, I can get it to put the .cer
in the application folder, i guess what i need is to find a way to execute
some custom code in the install, and I'm guessing that the x509Certificate
class has a way of doing this....... this is as far as i've got... for now...

Hi, My c#-prog shall call some https URLs at our webserver. It has a self-signed certificate. I also use IE per COM-Control to call a website at our server (also https). How can I install the certificate programmatically through setup or in the program itself in windows (or ie) to get rid of the security-warnings? I wrote an own IServiceProvider but the IE.Navigate Calls always show the warnings to install the certificate.

Hi, We are trying to add a Client Certificate support for our web app that emulates a hardware device web app. The hardware uses a 2 factors authentication, which requires a Web Service client to send: Client Certificate and Username / password. We are using a Web Service provider which uses IIS 5.1 as HTTP server. IIS is set to require client certificate and Basic Authentication.

my asp.net app is posting to another webpage using httpwebRequest & x509Certificates and in return the certificate's name used for the posting is sent back.
