问题
I did a clean install of windows 10 and visual studio 2015 and did not find makecert.exe anywhere. Does some other software need to be installed to get this program back?
I looked in all the folders under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\\" and did not see it in any.
I also opened the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2015" and tried running "makecert" but it was not found.

Install the Windows SDK for Windows 10. If you still can't find it, try the Windows Driver kit.

As ShaneH answers in this question makecert.exe has been deprecated, and we should use powershell commandlet New-SelfSignedCertificate.
New-SelfSignedCertificate -Subject "CN=Test Code Signing" -Type CodeSigningCert -KeySpec "Signature" -KeyUsage "DigitalSignature" -FriendlyName "Test Code Signing" -NotAfter (get-date).AddYears(5)
For older versions of PS, one can get this script from TechNet: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Self-signed-certificate-5920a7c6
To make my answer full, below is brief explanation how to use the TechNet script:
- Navigate to link above and download New-SelfSignedCertificateEx.zip file
- Unzip it somewhere
- Run PowerShell console and navigate to location with new file
- Run command .\New-SelfSignedCertificateEx to call function. Remember to append necessary parameters.
.\New-SelfsignedCertificateEx -Subject "CN=Test Code Signing" -EKU "Code Signing" -KeySpec "Signature" -KeyUsage "DigitalSignature" -FriendlyName "Test code signing" -NotAfter [datetime]::now.AddYears(5)
Two additional notes if you are having problem with this tool.
- If PowerShell moans that scripts are disabled, run console as administrator and call this:
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted - If PowerShell still refuses to run it, make sure you've prepended
.\(dot-slash) before the name of the file, as this is necessary.

After downloading the Windows SDK for Windows, to install the "makecert.exe" you only have to check the "Windows Software Development Kit".

A quick search of my C: found that makecert.exe seems to be distributed with Fiddler 2 in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Fiddler2 folder. This is a much smaller download than the full Windows SDK.
For the record I have version 4.6.20171.26113 of Fiddler 2.
