The Import Certificate option in Patch My PC (PMPC) Publisher allows you to import a code signing certificate using a PFX file that includes the certificate's private key, which Publisher uses to sign content it publishes.
Import a PFX Certificate
To import a PFX certificate:
Load Publisher.
On the General tab, under the Certificate Management section, click the Import button.
Browse to the location where the .pfx certificate is saved and click Open.
Enter the password for the private key.
Click OK.
If the certificate is valid and suitable for code signing, the import completes successfully.
If the PFX certificate is unsuitable for code signing, the Certificate Import Failed dialog will indicate this.
If Publisher detects an existing certificate that is still valid, the Overwrite Current Certificate dialog is displayed, warning you and prompting you to click Yes to overwrite the existing certificate with the new one. This helps prevent you from accidentally replacing an active and trusted signing certificate.
