Certificate problem - Error Importing Key "object already exists" after Windows 7 upgrade
certificate, pfx, visual-studio-2008, windows-7
Solution
Solved it!
After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 the permissions of the folder containing certificates C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys had changed.
After changing the permissions granting full access the problem went away.
Let me know if this was helpful to anyone! :)
Problem
I have about 60 .pfx files for all major assemblies for a project. They are unique files, but I use the same password for all. After an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 I get an Import Key File dialog requesting the password for them when I click Build in Visual Studio 2008. This would have been fine, but after inserting the password I get an error dialog: Error Importing Key - Object Already Exists. Any ideas?
