Are you trying to do this in code? Or are you just trying to create the .pfx so you can use it to publish some other code?

Obs. you need to set "Type To Convert To" to PFX/PKCS#12 before you can select your .cer and .key files

I've used makecert:

and pvk2pfx:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff550672(v=vs.85).aspx[^]
to go from a .pvk and .cer to a .pfx. They may be able to help you too.
