I wasted 2 days in this because some easy to avoid mistakes, read these to save some time

1- IF you Are going To install the Certificate on   a stand alone Exe application Flow these

1-      Before you start buy or install certificate you must read this first.

a.       http://www.unigui.com/doc/online_help/ssl_configuration.htm

b.       http://www.unigui.com/doc/online_help/getting-a-ssl-certificate-from.htm

c.       http://forums.unigui.com/index.php?/topic/8380-eidosslgetmethoderror-in-ssl-enable/&do=findComment&comment=43321

2-      Don’t  generate req.csr file using IIS as godaddy instructs , install and use openssl as the document above describes to generate 2 files.

  -    download openssl from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

3-      Keep key.pem in safe place IE don’t lose it.

4-      When downloading Certificates files from godaddy don’t select Server Type: IIS, but select Server Type: Other.

 

--    rename the downloaded 2 files as described in the document

above .

5-      Use the right DLL files 32 or 64 according to your application type.

   Edit

     2- IF you Are going install the certificate On IIS Server Flow below:

       - Generate csr.txt file using IIS as GoDaddy instructs.

       - VIP- When you copy the csr.txt Be very Carful there is a space at the end of the file don't uses select all or it will corrupt the certificate.

      -When downloading Certificates files from GoDaddy select Server Type: IIS
