I was looking to enable TFS tracing in my Visual Studio 2017. All the links I have found is for older version of Visial Studio where you go to the \common7\IDE directory to open up the devenv.exe.config file. For some reason, I do not have this file in my 2017 version.
Does Visual Studio 2017 still utilize the devenev.exe.config? If so, does it reside in a different directory from previous versions?
The devenev.exe is also located under \common7\IDE directory. However, VS2017 installed path is not the same as previous version. The devenv.exe is located at:
For VS2017
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
For VS2015
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
If you want to find the install location of devenv in a script, since there is no %VS150COMNTOOLS% for Visual Studio 2017, you could use vswhere.exe or powershell to find your Visual Studio instances. Detail steps please refer this question: reliable way to find the location devenv.exe of Visual Studio 2017
I ended up going to the VS 2017 environment in a command window in administrator mode. I then ran 'devenv.exe /log c:\vs_logs\log.txt'. That allowed me to create logs of what VS was doing
