Add PFX to strong name CSP on VSTS

I have created VSTO Addin project which is signed using a Password protected PFX certificate and added the project to VSTS,

Now while building I get an error as failed to import certificate, to fix that I need to import PFX certificate, so as suggested on different SO posts and microsoft support, I am trying to import certificate using sn tool as follows,

I had created an .cmd(bat) file which has following commands,

C:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\

sn -i "%1\Sixmod5PFX\Sixmod5Certificate.pfx" VS_KEY_BD774ABB8BB29878

and added Run batch script task to build definition before MSBuild step, but as we know when we run this command on local machine, it prompts for a password which user can enter,

Same thing happens on VSTS and fails, as it don't get password. Is there any way to solve this.

You need to setup a private build agent (e.g. Deploy an agent on Windows), then install PFX certificate manually on that agent machine (as run the command on local machine and specify password in prompt window)
