Hi, 

 Please assist with modifying the powershell script to install the security certificate in a different location? It is currently installing to the ‘Trusted People’ location, but we need to install to ‘Trusted Root Certificate Authorities’ and ‘Intermediate Certificate Authorities’.  This have to come from UWP packages. Please some one provide me with steps.

Regards,

Bhaskar.R

Hi Bhaskar.R

Since the problem seems to be more related to the powershell, I'll help you to move it to the Windows PowerShell Forum to seek for help.

Best regards,

Roy

Hi Roy, 

           Actually am trying build my UWP application, when Build Packages are generated, when i try to install the package on the device by running the "Add-AppDevPackage.ps" using powershell, it always installs the certificate into Trusted People. when i edit the "Add-AppDevPackage" code i found this which generated by built in system.

In function DoElevatedOperations

# Add cert to store
   certutil.exe -addstore TrustedPeople $CertificatePath

My requirement is to change this store, before generating the build.

Thanks in Advance,

Bhaskar.R
