I'm trying to get WCF test client 10 (included in VS 2010) on a server that doesn't have Visual Studio installed. I was able to find file packages for version 9, but not 10. These packages included the following files:
- Microsoft.VisualStudio.VirtualTreeGrid.dll*
- SvcUtil.exe*
- SvcUtil.exe.config
- WcfSvcHost.exe
- WcfWvcHost.exe.config
- WcfTestClient.exe*
- WcfTestClient.exe.config
I read that only the files marked with * are required. I tried to copy the versions of these files from my machine (which has VS 2010 installed) to a folder on the destination machine, but when I run WcfTestClient.exe, I get the following error:
To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:
v4.0.30319
Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework.
It seems like it's looking for .NET 4, which we haven't migrated our apps to yet. I tried with the SvcUtil.exe from both of the following locations:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools
But neither worked.
I also added the following registry keys (because of this post):
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools-x64] "InstallationFolder"="\"
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools-x86] "InstallationFolder"="\"
I'm hoping there's a dll somewhere that the client depends on that I can add to the folder?
Any help would be appreciated!
