I have imported a crt file to Personal Certificates in Local Computer.
I can extract the same public key using base 64 encoded X509 .CER option using MMC.

My goal is to programmatically get this information using win32 apis.

So far I have tried below but the data stored in base64Cert does not match the public key.

Any ideas on what I can try to get the correct data ?

HCERTSTORE hCertStore;
PCCERT_CONTEXT pCertContext = NULL;


if (!(hCertStore = CertOpenStore(
    CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM,
    MY_ENCODING_TYPE,
    NULL,
    CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE,
    L"MY")))
{
    std::cout<<"The MY system store did not open."<< std::endl;
}



while (pCertContext = CertEnumCertificatesInStore(
    hCertStore,
    pCertContext))
{
    LPTSTR pszString;
    LPTSTR pszName;
    DWORD cbSize;
    CERT_BLOB blobEncodedName;

    PBYTE pbPKEY = NULL;
    DWORD iPKEYSize;



    bool ret = CryptDecodeObjectEx(X509_ASN_ENCODING,
        RSA_CSP_PUBLICKEYBLOB,
        pCertContext->pCertInfo->SubjectPublicKeyInfo.PublicKey.pbData,
        pCertContext->pCertInfo->SubjectPublicKeyInfo.PublicKey.cbData,
        CRYPT_ENCODE_ALLOC_FLAG,
        NULL,
        &pbPKEY,
        &iPKEYSize);

    CERT_CONTEXT certcontext;
    certcontext.pbCertEncoded = pbPKEY;
    certcontext.cbCertEncoded = iPKEYSize;

    DWORD dwData;
    if (!CryptBinaryToStringA(certcontext.pbCertEncoded, certcontext.cbCertEncoded, CRYPT_STRING_BASE64HEADER, nullptr, &dwData))
    {
        std::cout << "error n";
    }
    std::string base64Cert(dwData, '');
    CryptBinaryToStringA(certcontext.pbCertEncoded, certcontext.cbCertEncoded, CRYPT_STRING_BASE64HEADER, &base64Cert[0], &dwData);
    
    std::cout << base64Cert << "n";
    
}
