cannot find wcf Configuration editor VS2008

Question

Hi
I have installed VS 2008 sp1 and I am learning WCF.
I cannot find the WCF editor in neither the context menu when right clicking on the config file or when I do Tools. and there is nothing under tools either.

Am i missing the obvious?

Thanks

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

If you create new projects with the WCF template it should show up in the context menu.

Maybe this or this trick still works?


I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up in the Tools menu....I don't remember ever explicitly having to add it :)

Thanks for your reply.
I had already seen that and tried.Tried again but does not work.

What ;s annoying is I cannot see under tools either.

How do you install it?
Is it possible to install it separately?

I suppose you could add it manually to the Tools menu...

choose Tools.../External Tools... and browse to svcconfigeditor.exe (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin on my machine).  Which reminds me - looks like you need to make sure the SDK is installed, although maybe installing the SDK automagically adds it to Visual Studio tools.  :)

Hi
I have found it in the following folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin

I have noticed that you have v6.1.
Is that a new version?
