Where can I find SvcUtil.exe

I am unable to find svcutil.exe even after intstalling WinFx Runtime components. Looking at other posts, it should be in Program Files/Microsoft Sdks/Windows.... folder but there is no folder of this type. I have written a service, I am stuck at the step of generating the Proxy.

Thanks,

Akhil

    Thanks Madhu. I'll trying doing that.

    I read somewhere that installing the beta SDK might cause problems. That is why I am a bit skeptical.

    For deployment,you don't need SDK/orcas tools,we just need WINFX(Aha,now it is .NET 3.0 )

    For development: we need SDK,SDK tools,orcas tools(we need SDK,all these tools and VS.NET intergration makes our life easy)

    why SDK files are risky

    If you want,you can try to copy SVCUTIL and its config files to your machine(from the machine,where you have all the SDK tools),that may work,I didn't try this,but if we have all dependency info and config files,it is simple exe file,it should work.

    Did you also install the WinFX SDK

    Look here for installation instructions:

    Every beta carries some risk, but all the complaints I read here dealt only with problems developing WinFX, I can't remember someone complaining about other modules being damaged.

    Think of it this way - you already took the risk when you installed the runtime, the sdk shouldn't increase the risk much.....

    Is there any other way out I delibrately did not install the SDK, as it might be risky.

    Still I am able to do development

    Thanks,
