Can I use Inno Setup to import a .cer file (a certificate)?

How can I do it?

I need to create a certificate installer for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Actually the CertMgr.exe is not available on all PCs and furthermore it does not appear to be redistributable (as hinted by @TLama); and besides you don't even need it.

CertUtil is available on every Windows machine (that I have tested) and works perfectly:

[Run]
Filename: "certutil.exe"; Parameters: "-addstore ""TrustedPublisher"" {app}\MyCert.cer"; \
    StatusMsg: "Adding trusted publisher..."
