Install a pfx certificate into Cert:/LocalMachine/Root store. This
command is a shorthand for using ``installpfxx`` to install into the
Cert:/LocalMachine/Root store.

The pfx certificate is installed into the system trusted location. Only
the pfx certificate location and password is required and this does not
prompt a confirm dialog.
