Download Svctraceviewer.exe Windows 10

[Yoana Terrano]

Ihave 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

You can get it by downloading the Windows SDK. The latest one can be found at -US/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk/, but if the link doesn't work, searching for "Download Windows SDK" should take you to the correct link.

I'm on Windows 10 and this works for me:Use a search engine on "Win 7 SDK ISO", to get a Microsoft site result, such as this one: -us/download/details.aspx?id=8442You may need to click into the site's 'Archives' section.Then download the ISO, such as:GRMSDK_EN_DVD.ISORight click the ISO file to Mount it to a local drive (such as your I drive), then double click this file to open it:I:\Setup\WinSDKNetFx40Tools\cab1.cabScroll down to find this file in the cab:FL_SvcTraceViewer_exe_x86_ln.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8And right click to Extract it somewhere like your Documents folder.Rename the file to SvcTraceViewer.exe and launch it.

However, a far more useful tool is the tracing to a file that you can process with the Service Trace Viewer application. This is typically located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\svctraceviewer.exe on your machine where you have your Windows Development SDK installed.

Assuming everything is configured correctly, the files will be generated. When the exception occurs, you can copy the file to the machine where svctraceviewer is installed, and open it. Typically you can navigate to the datetime when the issue occurred and find it. If you are sifting through a lot of activity, svctraceviewer has excellent filtering. Exceptions appear highlighted as red in the left pane. You can click on the exception to find the exception detail.
