Problem creating service proxy from WSDL with invalid SSL certificate

Question

I am trying to write a small application that accesses a web service, but the web service has an invalid SSL certificate. I can not control this fact, since it is controlled by a third party.

I tried to access the site through IE (as an administrator and as my own user) and install the certificate, but it does not seem to be very much, since the next time I get the same error.

When I run svcutil, I get the following output:

C:\Personal>svcutil.exe https://b2b:9443/LiveFeed.svc?wsdl
