Where is svcutil.exe in Windows 7?

For my WCF, I need to generate configuration file for my client application to specify things such as binding of service, the address of the service and the contract.

With latest version of windows (e.g. Windows 10, other servers), type/search for "Developers Command prompt.." It will pop up the relevant command prompt for the Visual Studio version.

e.g. Developer Command Prompt for VS 2015

I don't think it is very important to find the location of Svcutil.exe. You can use Visual Studio Command prompt to execute directly without its absolute path,

Syntax:
svcutil.exe /language:[vb|cs] /out:[YourClassName].[cs|vb] /config:[YourAppConfigFile.config] [YourServiceAddress]

example:
svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:MyClientClass.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:8370/MyService/

Try to generate the proxy class via SvcUtil.exe with command

Syntax:

svcutil.exe /language:<type> /out:<name>.cs /config:<name>.config http://<host address>:<port>

Example:

svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:generatedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:8000/ServiceSamples/myService1

To check if service is available try in your IE URL from example upon without myService1 postfix

Type in the Microsoft Visual Studio Command Prompt: where svcutil.exe. On my machine it is in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\SvcUtil.exe
