You can easily create a PFX file to install your SSL certificate in IIS from KEY and CRT files using OpenSSL:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out your.domain.name.pfx -inkey your.domain.name.key -in your.domain.name.crt

 

or if you have the root CA and intermediate certificates the command is:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out your.domain.name.pfx -inkey your.domain.name.key -in your.domain.name.crt -in intermediate.crt -in rootca.crt
