title: Where can I find makecert.exe? Visual Studio Ultimate 2012
body: <p>Attempting to use a <a href="http://makecertui.codeplex.com/" rel="noreferrer">makecert UI tool</a> to make it easier to generate a self-signed code certificates I'm trying to find the DIR location of makecert.exe</p>
  
  <p>I followed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/84847/how-do-i-create-a-self-signed-certificate-for-code-signing-on-windows">this previous answer</a> and all the command line switches worked without error. - However when attempting to use the UI tool I received the error:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z3z00.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>So I assumed that I would need to place the tool in the same directory as the makecert.exe and pvk2pfx.exe </p>
  
  <p>Here are the places I've looked:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin (empty)</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 (no relevant folders)</li>
  </ul>
