Hi Team,

I am trying to install a SmartCardLogon certificate into CIV chip and getting below error while installing the certificate.

Below is my code: 

        CX509Enrollment objEnroll = new CX509Enrollment();
        try
        {
            objEnroll.Initialize(X509CertificateEnrollmentContext.ContextUser);
            objEnroll.InstallResponse(InstallResponseRestrictionFlags.AllowUntrustedRoot,certificate, EncodingType.XCN_CRYPT_STRING_BASE64, null);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw new PIVClientException(sError,ex);
        }

And the error is below:

CertEnroll::CX509Enrollment::InstallResponse: Invalid pointer 0x80004003 (-2147467261 E_POINTER)

Thanks in advance. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Try to use Internet Explorer for certificate install. Some users got same error when using Chrome for Personal Certificate request.
    In fact, for code question, I suggest to ask for help from scripting forum
