Visual Studio 2017 Access Denied When Creating Self Signing Test Cert

▲

Specs- I am running VS2017 Enterprise Edition on a Windows 10 machine. I have a simple .DLL I will be updating from a web server and externally referencing into a piece of software that belongs to another company. I normally use Inno Setup but I wanted to take advantage of ClickOnce. However, when I try to make a test certificate I get an error message. I have found some information to indicate it is a permissions issue. I am running it as administrator and I am the admin.

The Issue- Access is denied.(Expection from HRESULT: 0x80070005(E_ACESSDENIED))

VS2017 is running in Administrator mode and my client has full rights.

I am able to import my companies certificate from file but I do not want to use it.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks.

Exit Visual Studio and reopen ‘As Admin’

Problem solved. If you are working remotely(RDP), you must be on the work network to create the cert. I would assume this will work if you use a Cisco as well. I brought my machine to work to show my boss the issue and it worked.
