@jlp - No, OpenSSL is not a part of Windows, it is a standalone software package (openssl.org), available also for Windows (openssl.org/related/binaries.html)

If the first command fails, you can do this: open your .key and .spc in notepad, copy the whole content of both files and create a new one called newfile.key. Then run again the openssl x509 -text -in newfile.key command and it should work. Then you can convert the newfile.key to .pfx using openssl pkcs12 -export -out newfile.pfx -in newfile.key

@dacap: Thanks - yes, if you have the key and certificate in separate files you can combine them as you describe. You can also use the method @fig suggested below, using -inkey for the key file, and -in for the certificate (.spc) file...

... Why Microsoft doesn't provide the function to convert .key to .pvk in pvk2pfx or signtool?
