I found that if I run the MSI as a normal user and say YES to the UAC prompt,
the certificates are installed but the page that gives the fingerprints and 
asks
if it is OK to install is an empty window.

If I run from an Administrator command prompt it works fine.

I do not see a Run as Administrator option.

This all on Windows 8.1

I have a Win7 virtual machine which I may try the same tests on.
