Question

3.26/5 (4 votes)

See more:

I already had the Windows SDK (3.5 Framework) which installs debugging tools under the
<code>
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin</code>

I installed the 64 bit version as my test system is 64 bit and my apps are mostly 64 bit.

I cant find Windbg.

It's driving me crazy.

Where is exactly located?

Thanks a bunch.

After a lot of searching, I found that WinDbg 64-bit was installed at the following location on my system:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64

I am on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
WinDbg version 10.0.14321.1024 AMD64

A corresponding 32-bit version was installed under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x86

12 years and the only thing you do is to resurrect ancient already answered questions from FIVE years ago?

Who cares if it's late??? This is the correct answer and should be updated as the accepted answer.

It usually creates a folder called Debugging Tools for Windows (x64) in Start -> All Programs.
The following link says that it is installed under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Redist\Debugging Tools for Windows
