Compiling MFC80.DLL: Error reading key file 'finalpublickey.snk'

[SingleEyelid]

I have Visual Studio 2005 installed. I tried to compile MFC80.DLL by typing the following lines in command prompt:

cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin
vcvars32.bat
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\src
nmake /f atlmfc.mak MFC LIBNAME="MFC80"

The compiler runs for about 20 minutes and this is the error message that appeared at the end:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

if not exist INTEL\$udll.w mkdir INTEL\$udll.w
link.exe @C:\DOCUME~1\james\LOCALS~1\Temp\nm1C2.tmp
LINK : fatal error LNK1256: ALINK operation failed (80040414) : Error reading key file 'finalpublickey.snk' -- The system cannot find the file specified.

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to avoid this error?

Thanks!!

You need to create your finalpublickey.snk and sign the assembly with your new key. You can not use the Microsoft private key to bypass the Strong Name Verification.
