    Hi Magnus,

     

    Try to run the following command:

    openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout PowerBICustomVisualTest_private.key -out PowerBICustomVisualTest_public.crt -days 365

    Pleas let us know whether it helped or not.

    We will add this command in our documentation also.

     

    Kind Regards,

I personally haven't needed to do this as I'm using Win 10, but the old GitHub documentation has some instructions on installing OpenSSL for Windows 7. Does this help at all? Other than that, we might need one of the team to assist...

    Hi Evgenii

     

    Thank you for the suggestion though I sort of recognized that these problems were not really with the documentation, but rather with me not having upgraded to windows 10, which I have now done, and all the problems have afterwards gove away.
