Verisign Certificate

We have bought a code signing certificate from Verisign.

The problem is the certificate will not install into the Personal Store and cannot be accessed by the Visual Studio. Without this we cannot publish a signed clickonce application.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Solved the problem.

The two files that make up the certificate .spc and .pvk need to converted into a single .pvk file which can then be imported into the Personal Store. This single file stores both the public and private keys of the certificate.

There is a PVK Import tool from Microsoft that enables .spc and .pvk files to be converted into a single .pvk file certificate.

What kind of problems are you seeing importing it into the personal store? What method are you using to import the certificate?
