I have a WCF service running on a Windows 2008 Enterprise Server. I just enabled Tracing on in App.config of the service. I have been trying to find the svctraceviewer.exe on the server and am not able to.

I tried to google and they say it will be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\SvcTraceViewer.exe. But I don't have this folder in Windows 2008 server. I see all versions of .Net Framework in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET

Appreciate your help in Advance.

Directly download it here! Searching an hour for this, which isn't needed.

    Saved installing some GB's, worth it! – Sanjay Zalke Dec 30 '13 at 16:56

    Downloading an exe from a stranger and running it on your server is a very bad idea. Install the Windows SDK instead. – Collin K Jun 04 '15 at 15:10
  • I fully understand your advice. Most people will just use it at a (developers) PC. Scan it with www.virustotal.com or compare it with the file of Microsoft. It's genuine. But would be nice if Microsoft hosted it. – KoalaBear Jun 04 '15 at 18:37
  • @KoalaBear - its digitally signed by Microsoft Corporation, so should be trustworthy ;) – Jimbo Aug 07 '15 at 12:26

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\SvcTraceViewer.exe

  • Thanks for this! Why download when it's already on my machine? For me it was here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools – rjacobsen0 Jun 09 '20 at 12:12

It's included in the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5
