but it doesnt seem to work for me, my keytool is located C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin\keytool.exe

Im trying to make the keystore folder on the desktop but I keep seeing people say that it needs to be in the same folder as the keytool but that doesnt seem to work either ive tried changing the path to

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin
keytool -genkey -v -keystore C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Key Stores\Runs.keystore -alias RUNS -keyalg RSA -validity 999999

Thanks for the help

I thought I replied to this but maybe I didn’t. Since nobody has replied. To me it looks like you are missing a slash. Instead of:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin
keytool -genkey -v -keystore C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Key Stores\Runs.keystore -alias RUNS -keyalg RSA -validity 999999

It should be:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin\keytool -genkey -v -keystore C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Key Stores\Runs.keystore -alias RUNS -keyalg RSA -validity 999999

Also usually I put the paths in quotes on the PC, but don’t know if it matters.

Thank you, I was missing that stroke and Yes it does matter that the path is in quotes, below worked a treat :slight_smile:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin\keytool" -genkey -v -keystore "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Key Stores\Runs.keystore" -alias RUNS -keyalg RSA -validity 999999
