SignTool Error: The specified CSP could not be found

[Dodge33]

Hi Guys

I've just downloaded Platform SDK and am attempting to sign a cab file
with signtool.exe. I've been able to sign using the wizard method but
specifying the individual key files always results in a "SignTool
Error: The specified CSP could not be found." error message.

Does anyone know why this happens?

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin>signtool sign /v /csp
mycert.spc /k
mykey.pvk /sha1 "44459EAB2DB30B86335EA740B781626AD45E87EB"
vtncontrol.cab
The following certificate was selected:

You have to specify the csp name next to the csp
/csp <name>

An example would be /csp "Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider"
