I had added .pfx file in my project, It was developed in vs2005.

I have converted this project from vs 2005 to vs 2010.

I have install the certificate again.

now the .pfx file is giving problem. it shows 3 errors, as below...

1.

Error 3 Cannot import the following key file: TemporaryKey.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the following key container name: VS_KEY_BB29B0994ABBAB54 SSS

2.

Error 4 Importing key file "CRM_TemporaryKey.pfx" was canceled. CRM

3.

Error 5 The KeyContainer path 'VS_KEY_BB29B0994ABBAB54' is invalid. KeyContainer must point to an existing file. CRM

I cant add another .pfx in to my project, as I have already published my application on client side. If I add new .pfx then its Public key will be changed and error will occur on client side on next publish.

What should I do ?

Solution 1

I've found this an issue with 2010 projects as well. Creating an empty file with the name of the KeyContainer path has help (ie in this case an empty file called VS_KEY_BB29B0994ABBAB54) This at least helps with error dot point 3 you've listed.
