Assume the following scenario:
- An information file for a manual certificate request is created.
- Creating the certificate request using the file fails with the following error message:
Expected INF file section name 0xe0000000 (INF: -536870912)
Cause/Solution
The error occurs when the information file is encoded incorrectly. It must be encoded in UTF-8 without byte order mark (BOM). You can check the encoding with tools such as Notepad++.
After changing the encoding, the file must be saved.
