File not found error when creating a private key using CERTENROLLLib

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: CertEnroll::CX509PrivateKey::Create: The system cannot find the file specified. 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2)

The error above is the exception thrown when I attempt to create a private key to generate a CSR using the CX509PrivateKeyClass class from CertEnroll.dll.

It only seems to happen when I attempt to execute code deployed on a windows 2008 server.

It runs fine under windows 7.

This is because you don't have proper permission to call the COM. I'm not sure the lowest permission but local administrator should work.
