Remove Certificate on uninstallation

Wed Aug 09, 2017 8:04 am

Hello,

I'm using an https installation with a pfx file. The installer creates the site and bindes the certificate to the given port. But when I uninstall the application the certificate is still in the certificate store. How can I remove the certificate on uninstallation?

Regards
Tim

Hello Tim and welcome to our forums,

I'm afraid currently this is our feature implementation. On uninstall we remove only the SSL certificate binding from http.sys, but the certificate file is left in the installed certificate store.

I've talked with our development team and we added an improvement on our list so in a future version of Advanced Installer you could configure your setup package to remove the SLL certificate on product uninstall. Thank you for your suggestion. We will update this thread as soon as the improvement will be available.

All the best,
Daniel
