"Encryption support not enabled" when using snmptrap.exe

I have windows 10 pro. I am trying to use snmptrap.exe to send out an SNMP trap. V2c traps work fine. I get errors when I try to send out v3 traps.

Partial command line:

snmptrap.exe -m ALL -M "C:/Program Files/Hitachi/Protector/bin\..\db\config\mibs" -v3 -n "" -a SHA -A mypassword -x AES -X mypassword -l authPriv -u traptest -e 0x8000000001020308 localhost:163 ""

When I try DES, I get

Encryption support not enabled. (3)

When I try AES, I get

Invalid privacy protocol specified after -3x flag: AES

Not sure where to begin. Haven't been able to find anything helpful online.

It turns out that whoever built snmptrap.exe built it without encryption support. Never knew that was an option.

The stuff I found online said that this message was caused by a problem in the OS. That is what the error message meant to me. The error message is at best ambiguous and should be made more clear.
