Where is the C++ debugger executable located in Visual Studio 2015?


I am looking for the directory and file name of Visual Studio 2015 debugger to import it into QT Creator.

My problem is, that I have no idea what its name and folder is.
When googling for it only tutorials of how to debug appear.

  • After reading all links posted by phonetagger and vahancho I knew what I need looking for... so: the executables name is cdb.exe and it can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64

    BUT! only if Debugging Tools for Windows are installed here is a great discussion about it, and how to install it:
