    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
