Error installing Introduction to CardSpace sample app

Hi,

We are trying to get the sample CardSpace application up and running on our platform but are running into some issues. Here are the details:

O/S platform: Windows XP SP2 (with all the security patches applied).

IE 7.0 RC1

.NET SDK 3.0 RC1

When running the install.bat, get an error message as follows:

[ERROR] GetCertificateThumbprint( My, localmachine ,www.fabrikam.com ): unable to find matching certificate

Here is the complete output:

Two things to try:

1.Grab the RC1 version of the sample,

2. Don't run it from your user directory, unpack it to something like c:\cardspace or c:\samples and see what happens.

Thanks,
