  Unable to import RSA key container using aspnet_regiis and "pi" option Reply Contact I am unable to import an RSA key container from an XML file using aspnet_regiis -pi.  Here is the exact command that I am using: aspnet_regiis -pi "MyKeystore" C:\dev\keys.xml This does not throw any errors when run from the command line.  Instead, it displays the full list of options similar to what would happen if I had entered an invalid option.  I'm using "C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis".  Am I entering the command incorrectly, or is my .NET installation corrupted?  Thank you in advance.

  Re: Unable to import RSA key container using aspnet_regiis and "pi" option Reply Contact I finally figured this out. I had copied the above command from a Microsoft Word document to Notepad, and then to the command window.  I had assumed that any rich text would have been stripped out, but apparently not.  One of the quotation marks was a curved quotation mark that copied over from Word, and this caused the aspnet_regiis command to fail.  I also had this happen with a hyphen that was copied from Word.
