Strong name problem

Hello,

When I run sn.exe to generate a strong name i get the error message "Failed
to generate a strong name key pair -- Key is not defined." (The second half
of the message is an attempt to translate into english).

Why am I getting this error? And what can I do?

Thank you for your reply and the links you pointed me to.

I've read the articles (and pretty much everything else I've found on the
web about it). Howevere I can find no information on why the strong name tool
returns and error and doesn't produce a key pair. Any suggestions?

At the moment I'm considering reinstalling Visual Studio.

Thanks,
Henrik
