It usually means you already have that container name but it was not created
by you and you do not have permissions on it. Hence, when you try to acquire
a context without any keyset flags it will give you bad keyset, but when you
try to create the keyset CryptAcquireContext will return that it already
exists.

You will need to try a different key container name.
