makecert.bat fails and previous threads do not provide the answer. Just as a previous poster, I run the batch file and get:-

The system cannot find the path specified.

Das Zertifikat wurde erstellt.
The certificate was provided.

Press any key to continue . . .

The problem is that as soon as I press any key the command screen simply shuts down and no certificate has been created!

Easy to repeat if I create the cert folder and move makecert.bat into it and run from there.
I will assume that is what you did. That batch file is written to be run only from C:\xampp\apache.

So put it back in C:\xampp\apache and run it from there.

It will clean up after itself nicely and you will find new server.crt & server.key files in
C:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.crt
C:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.key
