success = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs/example.cer");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var certStoreCU = new CkCertStore();
var readOnlyFlag = false;

// "CurrentUser" and "My" are the exact keywords to select your user account's certificate store.
success = certStoreCU.OpenWindowsStore("CurrentUser","My",readOnlyFlag);
if (success == false) {
    console.log("Failed to open the CurrentUser/My certificate store for read/write.");
    return;
}

// Import the certificate into the CurrentUser/My certificate store.
success = certStoreCU.AddCertificate(cert);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(certStoreCU.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Imported " + cert.SubjectCN);
console.log("Success.");
