How to locate fuslogvw.exe on my machine?

I'm looking for the assembly binding log viewer executable (fuslogvw.exe), but I can't seem to find it on my machine. It's there for sure because when I type fuslogvw in a Visual Studio command prompt the application opens.

The machine I'm working on has a clean Visual Studio 2008 installation, no previous versions were ever installed.

Does anyone know where to find it? I need the exe to be able to copy it to a server to solve a binding issue.

On my box, also with VS2008, it can be found at

> C:\Program Files\Microsoft > SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\fuslogvw.exe

In Windows 7, and Windows 8.1, it's located under the directories that are here:

> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows{version}\bin{.NET Version Tools}

So for Windows 8.1 and .NET 4.5.1:

> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1a\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\

My Computer has it in a different place under Tools for Visual Studio 2010

> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 > Tools\x64\

Open the folder and run FUSLOGVW.exe as administrator then you can enable the log in settings.

Use the Visual Studio / development tools command prompt.

On my machine it's in the SDK's bin directory.

To help you out, here's a quick-n-dirty batch file nightmare that will search the path for a file you give it:

@if EXIST %1 echo .\%1
@for %%e in (%PATHEXT%) do @for %%i in (%1%%e) do @if EXIST %%i echo .\%%i
@if NOT "%~$PATH:1"=="" echo %~$PATH:1
@for %%e in (%PATHEXT%) do @for %%i in (%1%%e) do @if NOT "%%~$PATH:i"=="" echo %%~$PATH:i

Might be late to the party but maybe some of you might be interested in a modern alternative to FUSLOGVW.exe I put on GitHub: Fusion++

It's super easy to use: Just click "Record" to capture assembly logs. If you are done, click "Stop" again and Fusion++ will parse all the log files for you.

Windows 10:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX [INSERT VERSION HERE] Tools

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin

You can run this tool via Visual Studio Command Prompt (Make sure to run the command prompt as Administrator):

Note: It's also a quick way to use Registry Editor to enable assembly binding: How to enable Assembly Binding Logging (Fusion Log Viewer – fuslogvw.exe)?
