Hey guys - I am having the same exact problem. I am on Win XP Pro with
IIS 5.1 and get the "keyset does not exist" error when trying to
install my self-signed certificate. I saw this link elsewhere, I
haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet, but perhaps it will help
you:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=295162

The link I have been using to guide me is
http://www.eal.us/selfsignedSSLforIIS.html

I'll write if/when I get this to work.
