    print(cert.last_error_text)
    return
end

local certStoreCU = chilkat.CertStore.new()
local readOnlyFlag = false

-- "CurrentUser" and "My" are the exact keywords to select your user account's certificate store.
success = certStoreCU:open_windows_store("CurrentUser", "My", readOnlyFlag)
if not success then
    print("Failed to open the CurrentUser/My certificate store for read/write.")
