1) Copy the text below into your favorite editor, save it as a batch
file under c:\temp (create the dir if it doesn't exist)
2) Copy your MSI to c:\temp, rename it test.msi (or update the batch
file below)
3) Open a Visual Studio command prompt (or, ensure makecert.exe, etc.
is in your PATH variable)
4) CD to c:\temp
5) Run the batch file

(Note: you will notice the "hello" in the commands below... when
makecert.exe runs, you'll be prompted for a password for the cert...
enter "hello" in the popup for all password fields. Of course, when
you purchase a real PFX from Thawte / Verisign / whomever, you'll want
to make the password more complex... but "hello" works fine for demo.)

makecert.exe -r -sv lizzprivatekey.pvk -n "CN=Lizz R Inc."
lizzpublickey.cer
pvk2pfx.exe -pvk lizzprivatekey.pvk -spc lizzpublickey.cer -pfx
lizzcert.pfx -po hello
signtool.exe sign /f lizzcert.pfx /p hello /v "c:\temp\test.msi"
