title: Import Signing Certificate is Failing
body: <p>I am attempting to create a certificate with a private key (.pfx) that I can use within my application to create and verify digital signatures. I want to install this certificate into the certificate store (Windows).</p>
  
  <p>I am having issues importing the certificate onto my local machine. The certificate import wizard is always reporting 'The password you entered is incorrect'. This is referring to the password for the private key in the pfx file I have created.</p>
  
  <p>Now I know for a fact that the password is correct, so there must be some other factor in play here. </p>
  
  <p>The script I am using to create the key is with a batch file and contains the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>makecert -r -pe -n "CN=%1" -b 01/01/2010 -e 01/01/2060 -sky signature %1.cer -sv %1.pvk
  pvk2pfx.exe -pvk %1.pvk -spc %1.cer -pfx %1.pfx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what could be causing the import wizard to tell me 'The password you entered is incorrect'?</p>
