Vista - Signing scripts

10-03-2007

Using the script below (exact same command found in two books) results in an
error. Running this on a WXP SP2 box. Makecert.exe comes from the C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin directory.

Thanx for pointing me in the right direction...

Cheers,
Hans

The statement lacks a hyphen in front of the sv switch. The book (Windows
PowerShell TFM, page 44 was wrong).
