Hi Paul -

I've removed and readded the certificate to see if it would help, but no
beans. Reviewing the article, I don't think this was the case because when I
first installed the certificate in IIS, there was no certificate to remove
first as this article describes. One thing I did notice is that in Q265847
which you sent me to, it says the default file name is Certnew.p7b ...
although I did select (every time I didn't a request) that it be a
Base64/PKCS certificate, the default file name has been *.cer. Anything
crazy up with that?

- Christopher.
