Question
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

OTHER TIPS
Makecert has been deprecated, you can find a PowerShell script that does the same on TechNet: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Self-signed-certificate-5920a7c6
Can't find it on my 2012 or 2013 versions, but 2008 has it 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
Guessing it was removed?
For VS 2017 , Windows 10 found it in the following locations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64
