Setting the certificate name
So here's a command line example of how to do it. You need a CAPICOM from microsoft that wraps CryptoAPI.
The friendly name is a property of the certificate store, not the certificate, so this code will import the certificate into the certificate store and set the friendly name as it does.
The code takes two parameters: the path to the certificate file and the friendly name that you want to install.
Code: -
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using CAPICOM;
using System.Collections;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace CertTool
{
class Program
{
const uint CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE = 0x20000;
const int CAPICOM_PROPID_FRIENDLY_NAME = 11;
const int CAPICOM_ENCODE_BINARY = 1;
static private String _currStoreName = "My";
static private String _FriendlyName = "Not Set";
static private String _CertPath = "C:\\test.cer";
static StoreClass _oCurrStore;
static ExtendedPropertyClass _friendlyProp;
static CertificateClass _certificate;
static ExtendedProperties _extendedProp;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
//Friendly name Argument
if (args.Length > 0)
{
_FriendlyName = args[0];
}
//Certpath argument
if (args.Length > 1)
{
_CertPath = args[1];
}
//Set and open the Store
_oCurrStore = new StoreClass();
_oCurrStore.Open(
CAPICOM_STORE_LOCATION.CAPICOM_LOCAL_MACHINE_STORE,
_currStoreName,
CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_MODE.CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_EXISTING_ONLY |
CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_MODE.CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_MAXIMUM_ALLOWED);
//Call the import certificate function
importCert();
}
catch(Exception ex){
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.WriteLine(args[0]);
}
}
//Function import the certificate to the machine store and sets the friendly name
static bool importCert()
{
try
{
//Create Certificate Object
_certificate = new CertificateClass();
//Load the certificate into the obejct from file
_certificate.Load(_CertPath, "", CAPICOM_KEY_STORAGE_FLAG.CAPICOM_KEY_STORAGE_EXPORTABLE, CAPICOM_KEY_LOCATION.CAPICOM_LOCAL_MACHINE_KEY);
//Create extended property Class for friendly name
_friendlyProp = new ExtendedPropertyClass();
_friendlyProp.PropID = CAPICOM_PROPID.CAPICOM_PROPID_FRIENDLY_NAME;
_friendlyProp.set_Value(CAPICOM_ENCODING_TYPE.CAPICOM_ENCODE_BINARY, _FriendlyName);
//Add extendedProp on cert object
_extendedProp = _certificate.ExtendedProperties();
//Set extendded prop to friendly name object
_extendedProp.Add(_friendlyProp);
_oCurrStore.Add(_certificate);
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
Console.WriteLine(_CertPath);
return true;
}
}
}

Ok, found the answer to this question:
Hello,
Please take a look at this to check if it works for you:
When you run the .net code on X64 environment, you will receive the following error message.
"Failed - Returns a COM factory for the component with CLSID ...."
eg. on the server side export / import CMS.net code = "ExportSiteContentIncremental (...) Failed - Returning a COM class factory for the component with CLSID {CA0752B3-021C-4F99-82E3-2C0F19C5E953} failed due to the following error: 80040154" ...
Temporary solution:
A possible workaround is to change your project platform from "Any processor" to "X86" (in project properties, build target / platform).

VSS Interop is a managed assembly using 32-bit Framework and the dll is a 32-bit COM object. If you run this COM library in a 64-bit environment, you will get an error.
