Windows asks for p12 password when installing p12 key generated by openssl

p12

If I generate a p12 certificate with openssl as: -

openssl pkcs12 -export -in myprivatecert.pem -nokeys -out mycert.p12

Even though I ask openssl to not export the private key, why does windows still require the private key password when installing the certificate.

I figure I am missing something.

Thanks in advance,

David.
