How do you use pvkconverter.exe - not working for me?
Finally got this to work.  A couple of issues.


I had to shell out to the command prompt "as administrator"
had to install "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012".


Here's the weird part.  If I run "pvkconverter.exe' with the -d option, it gives me an error saying it requires a decryption password.  If omit the "-d" option, it generates the "PVK/DER certificate pairs" which i can see my .cer and .pvk files now.  I got my files now but not sure if they are legit.

I guess the ONLY definitive way to find out if the .cer and .pvk files are valid is to run them on SQL Server.
