Problems building Kentico Full Source in VS2010

Hi,
I can't get the source solution to build in VS2010, here's the error I get:

Cannot import the following key file: CMS.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the following key container name: VS_KEY_3539F2B5C2614B07

I've tried importing one of the key files manually, via Windows Explorer, and it seems to do it successfully, yet I still get a bunch of these errors.

I've also tried running VS2010 as administrator, but that still doesn't work.

In the Instructions.txt, it says that VS2010 will ask for a password... but VS2010 never asked me for a password. FYI - when I installed one of the certificates manually via Windows Explorer, it did ask for a password.

This is a common VS problem and there are a few suggestions on forums online.

Member	Peter - 12/1/2011 5:33:51 PM RE:Problems building Kentico Full Source in VS2010 Hi, I had the same problem. Ended up going to each projects properties and click on signing- change password, enter old password provided and reenter it as new password. You must do it for all signed projects. Regards, Peter
