Estou tentando entender como importar uma chave pública do formato PEM (exemplo incluído no código abaixo) no XP, Vista e Windows 7. O código de exemplo importará a chave no XP e no Windows Vista / 7, mas não o mesmo caminho.

No Windows XP, a sequência"(Protótipo)" é obrigatório no nome do provedor de criptografia e permite que a chamada para CryptImportPublicKeyInfo seja aprovada.

No Windows 7, o"(Protótipo)" aparentemente, o provedor está presente, mas não suporta a chamada para CryptImportPublicKeyInfo, o que é confuso.

Como seria uma implementação correta entre esses sistemas operacionais? É necessário detectar o XP e solicitar o nome com"(Protótipo)"e sem ele para outros sistemas operacionais? É possível que isso ainda falhe em alguns sistemas XP?

Ou existe uma maneira de detectar esse comportamento confuso e selecionar o provedor criptográfico que dará suporte à chamada necessária?
