On page 340, in the Note box under Step 32 the command is incorrect.

Change:
"NOTE Registering the certificate in Windows XP
If you are using Windows XP, the command that is used to register the certificate is different. Instead of using the netsh command, you enter the following into the command line:

httpcfg set ssl –I 0.0.0.0:8732 –h <thumbprint> -Personal

In order to use this command you must first download and install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=88606 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=88606) )."
