$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The GetCertChain method is deprecated:

$certchainObj = $cert.GetCertChain()
if ($cert.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($cert.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using BuildCertChain.
# Your application creates a new, empty CertChain object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.
