Hello,

When I run sn.exe to generate a strong name i get the error message "Failed
to generate a strong name key pair -- Key is not defined." (The second half
of the message is an attempt to translate into english).

Why am I getting this error? And what can I do?

For Anything and Everything, Please Let Me Know
 
Thank you for your reply and the links you pointed me to.

I've read the articles (and pretty much everything else I've found on the
web about it). Howevere I can find no information on why the strong name tool
returns and error and doesn't produce a key pair. Any suggestions?

At the moment I'm considering reinstalling Visual Studio.

Thanks,
Henrik
