Comodo and Microsoft recommend to use Internet Explorer to order an
Authenticode certificate. Other browsers might work, but it's "safer" to
use IE. When something goes wrong then, the first question is "Did you use
Internet Explorer?"

Thank you!

Friedrich,
what is the recommended Operating System for purchasing a certificate?
I recall that XP was the one that worked to get a "Vista-Cert", but not Vista /
Win 7 itself.
Should we keep an instance of XP alive in a VM or are others now working too?
thx,
Wolfgang

If you need the certificate in form of .spc/.pvk then you can NOT use a
modern UAC-aware operating system. Vista+ does not support the "In the
file" option which is required to receive the certificate as .spc/.pvk.

Of course, you can use any UAC-aware operating system to request a
code-signing certificate, but you have to "export" it from the Internet
Explorer certificate store to a .pfx file. You can then use this .pfx in
SetupBuilder (Microsoft SignTool.exe tool) or convert it to .spc/.pvk.

This is why I made an XP VM. I rarely fire it up.

I also used this approach last week to renew my certificate,
WIN XP in VM Ware virtual machine and IE8.

I have to "renew" in September. To be on the safe side, I'll do it from my
good old XP VM.

Windows 8 brings us "The Oval, Bumper Car, Roller Coaster of Wait!"
One bad side is that Microsoft will cease support/updates next year
