Another method
would be to "capture" the registry information that the import produces. The only thing you have to watch out for is the location to where the certificate is imported to, USER or MACHINE. TO import start up the msc console and add the required plug-in.
Just my tuppence

Why the hard way?
When you package for Windows you can add a custom action like:
Importpfx.exe -f 3-1-2008_07700004.Pfx -p password -t USER -s MY
The biggest enhancement is that this also covers P12 certificates.
