That certainly fits with  the scenario I’m seeing between Win 11 and Win 10 installations. 

 

Looks like a libcurl update is in order for my software deployment.

 

Thank you very much for helping to resolve this. 

 

Well done, Sir.

 

Thanks,

Looks like the libcurl version may be a suspect in this odd behavior. It’s the first time I’ve seen this happen.

 

libcurl-7.71.1

 

I just read the original bug report [1] and the situation is a little different than I had explained. What happened was Windows changed the order of certificates in Windows 11 22H2 and so libcurl had to adapt to that. In versions of libcurl with schannel prior to 8.3.0 you may see a different certificate ordering depending on which version of Windows you are using.
