OpenSSL to generate a Private Key and Public Certificate on a PC

[ssl_virgin (sent by Nabble.com)]

I need to use OpenSSL to generate a Private Key and Public Certificate, so that I can dynamically create encrypted PayPal buttons [ref: Chap 7 of “PayPal Website Payments Standard Checkout Integration Guide”.].  I should be able to create these on my PC and upload them to my space on a shared server.

My question is simple, but I have not been able to find an answer: how can I run OpenSSL on my PC?  I have downloaded the openssl-0.9.8a.tar file, but have no idea how to run it.  Simply double-clicking on it does nothing.  (My OS is Windows XP Home).

Any help would be appreciated.
