Can't generate a signing certificate for Hololens 2

I have followed the instructions to package a project for HoloLens 2 here:

Packaging An App for the Hololens 2

When I get to the instruction:

Go to Project Settings > Platforms > HoloLens > Packaging > Signing Certificate and select Generate new

I get an error message:

“Failed to generate certificate: could
not locate makecert.exe”

I have completely reinstalled UE 4.25 from scratch but still have the same error.

I have tried to search the engine install location for “makecert.exe”. There is a file called MakeCert.exe at this location:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.25\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Mono\Mac\lib\mono\4.5

This doesn’t seem relevant though; it looks like it could be for Mac development?

Does anybody else have this issue or know what could be causing it? Many thanks.
