Windows – IIS 6 windows 2003 help installing SSL cert

iissslwindowswindows-server-2003

I requested a new ssl cert from godaddy which has been issued.
When try to install it in iis through the website directory security tab i get a "the pending certificate request for this response file was not found. this request may be cancelled. you cannot install selected response certificate using this wizard" error.

I may have run the wizard and deleted the pending request.

Is there any way i can install the certificate without getting a new one? (i hope so)

I have the original certrequest.txt file

The error usually occurs because you have deleted pending request of the certificate. The only recourse is to request a new certificate and completely finish the request before anything "security related" is changed on the machine.
