Error 1001 with an compiled Myrtille about myrtille

[cedrozor]

Hi,

The CERTENROLLLib COM object is referenced under "Myrtille.Common" project (there) and is used by the installer to create a self-signed certificate.

After looking a bit, I found that : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11421502/asp-net-certenroll-cx509certificaterequestpkcs10-exception

Since in Win2008 R2 Microsoft overwrote the interface, if the code is written in Win2008 R2 the run time is looking for the new interface GUID and in regular Win2008 it can't be found because Win2008 R2 interface GUID differs from Win2008 interface Guid.
So, object can't be created, and as the result exception is thrown.
Accessing the interface by ProgID solves the issue.

I will try to update the code (CreateSelfSignedCertificate) as detailed there : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33001983/issues-compiling-in-windows-10

...or I could also use another libs, such as Bouncy Castle, just like they did there: bertjohnson/OpaqueMail#45

Thanks for the report :)

Thank you,

Work fine after remplacing :
var privateKey = new CX509PrivateKey();

by :
var privateKey = (IX509PrivateKey)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("X509Enrollment.CX509PrivateKey"));

Thanks, I will report it to the master branch :)

This may occurs again on Windows 7 machines while the latest release (myrtille 1.8.0) because I moved to Visual Studio 2017 and Windows 10 as build environment; following the method indicated here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39397121
