How to install svcutil.exe under Windows 10


I am desperately searching for a way to install svcutil.exe because I read here and elsewhere that this was the way to compile a WSDL into C# code. I tried it via Windows SDK install, which yielded a folder of about 1K installers of whom I don't know which one to start. Any guidance is appreciated.

NB: I am currently using Visual Studio 2017 Preview, is that related somehow?


Solution

  • As @AlexK. pointed out in his comment, the svcutil.exe is available via the "Developer command prompt for vs2017" start menu item.

    I found out the path via where svcutil and added it to my PATH environment variable. Now I can use it as required. Thanks again!
