Windows SDK tool list

The Windows SDK tool is designed to make it easier for you to create, deploy, and manage applications and components for Windows and the Internet. The Windows SDK contains tools for hosting the programming model. Net 3.5 SP1 framework and. Net 4.0 framework, as well as tools for Windows's local (unmanaged) programming model Win32. Many windows SDK tools are listed on this page, which are classified by target audience: hosting, local hosts, and "frequently-used" (tools that can be used by hosted developers or local developers ).

Note that this release does not contain. NET Framework 3.5 SP1, but some tools in Windows SDK need it. You may need to install. NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to ensure full functionality of all tools.

These tools will be installed in the % Program Files %/Microsoft sdks/Windows/v7.0a/bin directory on the disk or in a subfolders of this directory. For more information about each tool, visit msdn.com.
