As the day went on, John's frustration grew. He had to get this software installed to do his job, but it seemed like the installer was blocking him at every turn. He tried to troubleshoot the issue, checking the Windows registry, certificate stores, and even the system time (which he had heard could cause issues with certificate validation).

John realized that the issue was not with the Kepware software itself but with the certificate configuration on his system. He documented the solution, hoping that it would help others who might face the same problem.

Still, nothing seemed to work. The installer simply couldn't find the required root certificates. John was about to give up when he stumbled upon a peculiar solution.

While digging through the Kepware support forums, John found a post from a user who had encountered a similar issue. The user had mentioned that the problem was caused by a missing root certificate, specifically the "DigiCert Global Root CA" certificate.

John scratched his head, wondering what could be causing this issue. He checked the internet for solutions, but none of the forums or support pages seemed to have an answer. He even tried contacting Kepware's support team, but they were slow to respond.

It was a typical Monday morning for John, a controls engineer at a manufacturing plant. He had to install Kepware, a software solution for industrial automation, on his computer to connect to the plant's machinery. John had done this before, but this time, something was off.
