Modify certutil commands for certificate installation #38
Conversation
Updated certutil commands to include the '-f' flag for adding certificates to the store. The flag was present in the previous edit, but at the wrong position causing an error. Added instructions for creating a batch file to install a specific code signing certificate.

The example certutil command has a syntax error and an inconsistent file location. It ends with an extra ')' (which will break the path), and it references [layout path]\certificates\... even though the preceding steps only say to copy the .crt to the offline machine (not into the layout's certificates folder). Update the command to use the correct filename/quoting and clarify (or adjust) where the .crt should be placed before running the batch file.
