iexplore 9 8? 32bits executes incorrect CertEnrollCtrl.exe 64bits on cert enroll pkcs#10 CreateRequest on Windows7 vista?

COPIED FROM http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ieitprocurrentver/thread/b4110f53-f1b5-4493-ba28-249c43c040e0/

Windows 7 amd64 running iexplore.exe 32 bits executes incorrect CertEnrollCtrl.exe 64 bits.

A consecuence of this error is that CertEnrollCtrl.exe quering for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider\MyCSP instead of HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider\MyCSP.

Probably, caused by this, its im getting a NTE_PROV_TYPE_NOT_DEF when executing CreateRequest.

A similar issue seen: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whatforum/thread/b9576a7e-3c85-4d7a-b7a8-cd7b522c2959#b9576a7e-3c85-4d7a-b7a8-cd7b522c2959

var x509 = new ActiveXObject("X509Enrollment.CX509EnrollmentWebClassFactory");var enroll = x509.CreateObject("X509Enrollment.CX509Enrollment");var priKey = x509.CreateObject("X509Enrollment.CX509PrivateKey");var request = x509.CreateObject("X509Enrollment.CX509CertificateRequestPkcs10");var XCN_NCRYPT_UI_NO_PROTECTION_FLAG = 0;var XCN_NCRYPT_ALLOW_EXPORT_FLAG = 1;
priKey.KeyProtection = XCN_NCRYPT_UI_NO_PROTECTION_FLAG;
priKey.ExportPolicy = XCN_NCRYPT_ALLOW_EXPORT_FLAG;var ContextUser = 1;
request.InitializeFromPrivateKey(ContextUser, priKey,"");
enroll.InitializeFromRequest(request);

priKey.ProviderName = "MyCSP";var XCN_PROV_RSA_FULL = 1;
priKey.ProviderType=XCN_PROV_RSA_FULL;

enroll.CreateRequest();
//An error is aised with number 2146893801 = NTE_PROV_TYPE_NOT_DEF

Any ideas how could i solve it?

Any ideas how to report it to Microsoft, if confirmed as a bug?

EDIT:

I have been looking in the registry for some possible errors and noticed the following:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{728ab348-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09}\1.0\0\win32]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{728ab348-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09}\1.0\0\win32]
set to "%systemroot%\system32\CertEnroll.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\TypeLib\{728ab348-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09}\1.0\0\win32]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{728ab348-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09}\1.0\0\win32]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\TypeLib\{728ab348-217d-11da-b2a4-000e7bbb2b09}\1.0\0\win32]
set to "%systemroot%\system32\CertEnroll.dll"

Shouldn't these keys be "%systemroot%\SysWOW64\CertEnroll.dll" or something similar?

(There are different binaries for 32 and 64 on that folders)

I have also noticed some other TypeLib have win64 instead of win32, but i think thats another story...

EDIT2:

Problem confirmed, pending bug confirmation and patch...

Our CSP is compiled for 32 bits only (So, we dont have a dll on system32)

Launch iexplore.exe(32bits) -> create activeX object -> CertEnrollCtrl.exe (64bits) is executed. (This version will try to load 64 bits library and will fail)

Terminate CertEnrollCtrl process and launch the 32 bit version. Retry.
