Does anyone know how to solve this java error?
java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format
I get it when I try and access the certificate store from the Java option in control panels. It's stopping me from loading applets that require elevated privileges.

I was able to reproduce the error by mangling the trusted.certs file at directory
C:\Documents and Settings\CDay\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security
.
Deleting the file fixed the problem.
Do not include special characters in organization name and unit
Seems to be a missing certificate or an invalid format.
Did you already generate a certificate with keytool?
for me it meant that my key file I was trying to import was invalid (it was actually a 404 page not a valid key)
For you guys who can't find the 'Documents and Settings' (whatever reason there may be) here is another path where the trusted.certs can be found:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security
Hope this helps!
