tl;dr: if importing an SSL certificate in IIS 7.x you receive the message "Cannot find the certificate request associated with this certificate file..." the certificate was imported successfully, just click Cancel and press "F5" to refresh the list to see it.

This is a known issue, for more detail see http://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-microsoft-iis-7.htm.  This just happened with an SSL certificate that I purchased through IT Services.
