Attempting to use a makecert UI tool to make it easier to generate a self-signed code certificates I'm trying to find the DIR location of makecert.exe

I followed this previous answer and all the command line switches worked without error. - However when attempting to use the UI tool I received the error:

enter image description here

So I assumed that I would need to place the tool in the same directory as the makecert.exe and pvk2pfx.exe

Here are the places I've looked:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin (empty)
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin
  • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 (no relevant folders)
