    copied!<p>If you're using <a href="http://wix.sourceforge.net/index.html" rel="nofollow">Wix</a> for authoring your setup, then running this <a href="http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_customaction.htm" rel="nofollow">CustomAction</a> (which simply runs <strong>SelfSSL</strong>) will do the trick for you:</p> <pre><code>&lt;CustomAction Id="InstallCert" ExeCommand="selfssl.exe /N:CN=fqdn.myserver.com /V:365" /&gt; &lt;InstallExecuteSequence&gt; &lt;Custom Action="InstallCert" After="InstallFinalize" /&gt; &lt;/InstallExecuteSequence&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>This action will</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Generate the certificate</li> <li>Install the certificate to <code>Default Web Site</code> </li> <li>Add the https binding</li> </ul> <p><strong>Command line explained:</strong></p> <pre><code>/N:CN=[fully qualified server name] /V: = Validity in days (365 in my example) </code></pre> <p>You can specify port with <code>/P:[port number]</code> switch. The default is 443 which is what you want so you can leave it out. </p> <p><strong>Caveat</strong>: There seems to be bug with SelfSSL which seems to have been <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/david.wang/archive/2005/04/20/selfssl-bug-with-websites.aspx" rel="nofollow">resolved</a>. </p> <p>If you still run into it, alternative is to switch to <code>SSLDiag</code> tool which has a similar syntax:</p> <pre><code>SSLDiag.exe /selfssl /n:CN=fqdn.myserver.com /v:365 </code></pre> <p>I do not have experience with other setup authoring tools (InstallShield etc.) but I'm sure they have provisions to run commandline programs. Worst case, you can run this through a batch file!</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p>
