CAPICOM: how to check root certificate validity and existence?

Hello,
I'm trying to verify the validity of a Root Certificate, which almost
works unless... the CA does not more exist!
I mean, if I have a valid Root cert in my trusted root store, I always
get an answer it is valid from the following code (VB 6):

rootCert.IsValid.CheckFlag = CAPICOM_CHECK_ONLINE_ALL Or
CAPICOM_CHECK_TRUSTED_ROOT

If rootCert.IsValid.Result Then
.....
' always get true here

else

...
end if

The strange thing is I get an ok even if the CA does not exist anymore,
or it is not reachable by the client doing the above verification.
Is there a way to get a false answer by that check, when the CA is not
available or it is not reachable?

Thank you,
AL.
