Mar 04 '16 at 10:42

My code

    Dim CkCert As New ChilkatCert
    Dim Info As TInfoCer
    Dim success As Boolean

success = CkCert.LoadFromFile(sArchivoCer)
    If (success <> True) Then
        MsgBox (CkCert.LastErrorText)
        Exit Function
    End If

Return:

ChilkarLog:
 LinkPrivateKey:
  DllDate: Dec 29 2015
  ChilkatVersion: 9.5.0.55
  UnlockPrefix: NONE
  Username: CAJA3:SISTEMAS
  Architecture: Little Endian; 32-bit
  Languaje: ActiveX
  VerboseLogging: 0
  KeyContainer: C:\Datos\Archivo.cer
  machineKeyset:1
  forSigning: 1
  No certificate
 -- LinkPrivateKey
 -- ChilKatLog

this error is sent only on a PC with Windows Vista 32. It works with the same file on other PCs.

Answer

You've provided the LastErrorText for the "LinkPrivateKey" method. The "LinkPrivateKey" method shouldn't ever be necessary. It's not yet deprecated, but probably should be. Also, the Csp and KeyContainer classes are deprecated and shouldn't ever be needed.
