REcommandation for COMODO renew
Hi all!
Is it still Windows XP/IE8, or have COMODO found a way to WIN7, other
browse programs (Firefox?)
Has to renew my COMODO, and fears it.
I have been on Janes Page, and downloaded the setup pages.
Any problems with a WMWARE virtual pc?
Best regards
Edvard Korsbæk

If you do not use XP/IE8 then you can't request a pair of .spc/.pvk files.
The certificate will be "installed" directly into your IE certificate store
if you use Vista+. But you can then "export" it to a .pfx.
A VMWare XP machine is no problem as long as you have the "Nonpersistent"
hard-disk option DISABLED!
Firefox is not recommended because you are on your own in this case. Should
work, but I would not do it.
BTW, this "problem" has nothing to do with Comodo at all. Microsoft simply
does not support the technology on UAC-aware systems to handle .spc/.pvk.

Bonjour Fredrich (bonne année a toi mon ami)
I may be wrong in my souvenirs but last time I renewed (last year) I
think remembering I simply did it from my windows 2008 SRV 64 bit OS in
IE and with UAC turned OFF (if this matters) and all was fine for me
and I received my files easily and saved them "manualy".
Just on the "XP" side as an info for others.
(but as I must be the only clarion dev using a server OS as host <g>)

Perhaps you have used the capicom.dll "hack". By default, UAC-aware systems
do not support it because the required components are not available nor
officially supported. As a result, the "In the file" key storage option is
(by default) not available and you can only install the certificate into the
IE store and then export it.

Just checked this here: clean Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition, UAC turned
off.
The the "In the file" key storage option was not available.

On XP, it looks like this (see attached screenshot).
But it's absolutely no problem. IE9 lets you export the .pfx from the
certificate store and then use the .pfx directly in SetupBuilder.

Re: REcommandation for COMODO renew
No hack here
maybe it is a "feature" reserved for srv OS ?

Hi Friedrich
Speaking of Code Signing
How do you actually backup your code signing certificate? Where is it?
If I lose a hard disk, is it Bye Bye's?

Just backup your .PFX or .SPC/.PVK files and you are done. The files are
"portable".
