Windows 7 - Getting certificate date stamp fails.

Hello,

I was trying to set and get the date/time stamp for when a certificate
was added to the certificate store. I used the CAPI function
''CertSetCertificateContextProperty()", but it always returns
0x8007000E (E_OUTOFMEMORY) which is a very strange error code.

I have verified that the certificate itself is successfully added to
the store i.e. the CAPI function CertAddCertificateContextToStore()
returns TRUE and the certificate can be found in the store, which
means that my HCERTSTORE context is valid.

I use the following call immediately after adding the certificate to
the store (ADDRESSBOOK):
FILETIME fileTime;
SYSTEMTIME systemTime;
GetSystemTime(&systemTime);
SystemTimeToFileTime(&systemTime, &fileTime)
CertSetCertificateContextProperty(ctx, CERT_DATE_STAMP_PROP_ID, 0,
&fileTime)

Why does it fail?
Has someone managed to get it to work?
Btw, I am testing this on a 32-bits Vista machine.

Thanks.
Eric
