Install a pfx certificate to a specified store location on the system. PFX certificate is expected to have a password hence the password should be specified as the second parameter and the store location as the store location.
The third parameter $store_location is not mandatory.
If the store location is not specified the pfx certificate is installed into Cert:/CurrentUser/My store which wioll make the certificate untrusted.
Installing into the Cert:/CurrentUser/Root store prompts a dialog to confirm adding the certificate while installing into Cert:/LocalMachine/Root store does not prompt a dialog, therefore it advisable to install into Cert:/LocalMachine/Root when working from CLI only.
