"The computer cannot be added to Windows Home Server" error message when installing second computer

Yesterday I got PowerPack 1 installed on my HP MediaSmart Server and then installed the updated Home Server Connector on my Vista 64-Bit Ultimate computer, so I thought I was home free.
Then I tried installing the Home Server Connector on another computer (Vista 32-Bit Ultimate). I can connect to the server and get to the Software folder, and I have an account set up on the server for this second machine. When I run the home connector software, it looks like it installs everything, then it asks me to provide the admin password for the server, which I do, then I get the following error:
"This computer cannot be added to Windows Home Server
Your user account does not have the required access permissions to install the security certificate"
I'm running setup.exe as administrator, and I also tried running WHSConnectorInstall directly as administrator with the same results. The account I'm running on is Vista 32-bit machine is an administrator account.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get some additional machines connected to this server :-)

Eric,
Did you submit a bug via connect with a CAB number for your logs from the PC and the home server generated by the Toolkit as documented in the Release Documentation.

No, not yet. I wanted to make sure it wasn't something I was doing incorrectly first.
I also tried disabling UAC and that didn't help, so I'll go through the documentation this evening to find out what I need to do and provide to report this as a bug.
Thanks!

I was able to identify what the issue was based upon the event log entry
Cryptographic Parameters:
Provider Name: Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider
Algorithm Name: Not Available.
Key Name: e0c58e8d-19d4-4be7-aada-fd340f78d0da
Key Type: Machine key.
Cryptographic Operation:
Operation: Open Key.
Return Code: 0x8009000d
It was permission issue for the MachineKeys folder. I gave full control to administrator for the "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys", Voila!! it worked.
