makecert.exe

[AK]

Hello,

I need to create a X509-certificate for testing purposes. It seems
like makecert.exe is what I should use, and C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin is where I should find it - although it's
not there. Does anyone know where I can find makecert.exe, or should I
use something else?

Thanks,

AK

I'll answer myself, in case someone else might need to now as well. Go
to the start menu and open the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. This
will point to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC, and
even though I can't actually see the makecert.exe file in there, just
type makecert.exe yourcertname.cer and voilà! You've got a
certificate.

Cheers,
