Illegal Indirection Error - CertFindChainInStore

Aug 27th, 2009

I am getting an Illegal Indirection Error on this code, and I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...65(VS.85).aspx

That link shows the function and what it should do. Am I on the right track? What do I have to do to fix the error.
