Where can I find makecert.exe? Visual Studio Ultimate 2012

Trying to use the makecert UI tool to simplify the creation of self-signed code certificates. I am trying to find the DIR location of the makecert.exe file

I followed this previous answer and all the command line switches worked without errors. - However, when I tried to use the user interface tool, I got an error:

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

Here are the places I looked:

  • C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v7.0A \ Bin
  • C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v7.0A \ Bin \ x64
  • C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v8.0A \ bin (empty)
  • C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ 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 corresponding folders)

Makecert is deprecated, you can find the powershell script in TechNet.

It is not possible to find it in my versions of 2012 or 2013, but in 2008 it is under

\ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 8 \ SmartDevices \ SDK \ SDKTools

\ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 8 \ SDK \ v2.0 \ Bin

\ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 8 \ Common7 \ Tools \ Bin

Guess it was deleted?
