Where can I download the Manifest Generation and Editing Tool (mage.exe) or (mageUI.exe)?

Question

 

I've searched and searched but cannot find where to get this. Every mention of it I've found claims that it is part of the Platform SDK, but I already have that installed and cannont find mage.exe or mageUI.exe anywhere.

Answer 1

Which version of the PSDK do you have installed? I have the latest (v6.0a?) and mage.exe and mageui.dll are in the 'bin' directory.

I have no idea. I couldn't find the version information. But I do know that mage.exe and mageui.exe are not present.

I have the following installed:

 

• Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition RTM (no SP1 or SP1 Vista update) on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
• Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2

I don't know how to find a version number such as what you show.

 

There is no mage.exe anywhere on my hard drive either.  [I didn't know to miss it, though .

Answer 4

My bad: it looks like mage.exe and mageui.exe are actually part of the .NET Framework SDK not the PSDK.

Answer 5

Yes, they are.  Download and install the .NET SDK.

Thanks for the link.

Answer 7

If you have installed VS2008, you don't need downloaded SDK, you can run Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt(Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2008->Visual Studio Remote Tools->Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt) and type mageui and then Enter ;>

MageUI.exe - (Manifest Generation and Editing Tool, Graphical Client)

Location:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\MageUI.exe

I have just download the SDK in your link

It does not contain mageui or mage
