What program is missing?

Question

I got the error below while running a pre-written cmd file on Windows.

'mt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The use case is:

mt -manifest <... something else....>

It's obvious that it needs some mt, but I can't figure what mt really is, so I could install the thing.

Could anyone tell me what this is or where to get it?

Thanks

`mt` could literally be anything. What is this prewritten `.cmd` file supposed to do? — In silico, Aug 02 '12 at 01:25

Given the context of a batch file, it's probably a backup script, so you're probably looking for this:

Or if it's a script from a dev project, it probably refers to this:

Again, what does the script do?

no, but there're many answers that match `mt`. Just don't feeling getting the wrong one – user1508893 Aug 02 '12 at 01:50
The use case is `mt -manifest....` – user1508893 Aug 02 '12 at 01:54
Then it's almost certainly the second option I posted - which means you need to either install the entire Windows SDK, or at least that portion of it – andrewdotnich Aug 02 '12 at 01:55
The script is for packaging software – user1508893 Aug 02 '12 at 01:57
Is it possible to get the Mt.exe ONLY? (w/o getting the entire sdkset up? My disk space is VERY limited) – user1508893 Aug 02 '12 at 01:58
Maybe, maybe not. I don't know; I'm not a Windows/.NET developer, sorry. – andrewdotnich Aug 02 '12 at 02:01
