I recently heard of WSDL.Exe, but I am not sure where to find this program. Does anyone know where I can find or download it?

In case anyone using VS 2008 (.NET 3.5) is also looking for the wsdl.exe. I found it here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\wsdl.exe

And on my Windows 7 machine it is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools
Note that the file wsdl.exe is portable, in that you can copy it to another windows machine and it works. I have not tried to see if the 4.5 exe will work on a machine that only have .NET 2.0, but this would be interesting to know.

You'll get it as part of a Visual Studio install (if you included the SDK), or in a standalone SDK install. It'll live somewhere like C:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin
If you don't already have it, you can download the .NET SDKs from

You can find what you want in windows by looking with the windows dir command, use the administrator account to make it easy:
