Where does makecert.exe store the digital certificate

certificate, certificate-authority, cryptography, encryption

Solution

Step 1, point 1

Open a Visual Studio command prompt and browse to the location where you want to save the certificate files

Is it therefore not the location you went to, upon opening the Visual Studio command prompt?

Problem

I created a self-signed certificate and a client certificate using this tutorial and the makecert.exe tool: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647171.aspx However, when I go to MMC and try to import the certificate in the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities, I have no clue where to locate the .cer file. Where does the makecert.exe tool save the certificates it creates?
