Question

I\'m having problems inserting a new CA certificate with privatekey in the Root certificate store of the localmachine.

This is what happens:

Answer 1

I have encountered this problem and it seems that even the user with which you are running the FindPrivateKey tool does not have access to the key and therefore you would get the "Unable to obtain private key file name" message. You could run the tool as LocalSystem process.
