Thanks Luke. However I can already use the certificates snap-in in
MMC - it works fine. But I want to use Certmgr as stand alone. Why?
Because Certmgr has a command line interface that I want to use to
automate importing certificates.
I am sure that Certmgr used to work when I ran it, but it does not
now. I suspect something has changed in my system, but I have no clue
what it could be. Can you suggest anything more, or is there someone
else who may help?
Thanks, Russ
